Problem with Sanyo 7200 Beta HiFi VCR

[Route66Fan]

I have a Sanyo 7200 Beta HiFi VCR that I got off of Ebay a year ago that doesn't want to play tapes. The rewind & fast foward functions work, however, the play & record functions don't work. When I first got it, I could sometimes get it to play & record, however, I haven't used the VCR in over a year & now it absolutely refuses to play tapes. I tried replacing a couple of belts & one of the idler tires in the VCR, but it didn't fix the problem. I've also read on another forum that the problem could be with the clutch. I would like to know what I can do to make it work?

Same advice I gave here: http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/vcr-...ion-eject.html Unless you can find the service manual and parts, and can DIY, it's not worth fixing.

This may be service manual, don't know what the II means. Could be the same machine, could be completely different.

Edit: Here's the manual for the VCR7200 which is different from the II model above: https://www.analogalley.com/osccart/...oducts_id=1960
