I do not have knowledge of capacitator replacement on the VCR. Positron serviced the units before shipment to me in 2020. At the time they made a general statement "This included checking optical and we have a look at the power supply and exchange some capacitors if necessary.". See videos for exact performance as of September 2025.

Is that discolouration on the solder on head drum anything to be concerned about?

Hi
Thanks for your question.

1) The drum head looks identical to the drum photo on this digital faq link.
https://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/vcr...00-hs1000.html

2) The NV-HS1000 service manual lists the upper cylinder unit part number as VEH0651, as shown in the image.

Attach rear photo of TBC-3000 I forgot to attach last week.

That's rosin/flux, not discolouration of the solder.
