Hello All,
I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this, but I recently purchased a Sony WV-DR9 combo DV and Super VHS player/recorder. Unfortunately, the DV side won’t play, forward, or rewind. The tape goes in and gets extended to the head, but there is no other movement or sound. I took it to a local repair shop and was told that the servo control board was the issue. He stated that the part was not repairable and had to be replaced. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find the part. He also stated that the last time he repaired the same model six years ago, the servo control board was $300.
So, A. I’m wondering if the servo control board is repairable, and if not, B. Are the DV servo control boards on the Sony WV-DR5 and Sony WV-DR7 interchangeable with the Sony WV-DR9? If they are interchangeable, I’d like to purchase one of those units since they are cheaper and swap out the part.
Please advise!
Thanks!
