Thanks dpalomaki! I appreciate your comment on my thread that helped solidify in my mind that I needed to do hardware work on the 1980P- that was very helpful and pointed me in the exact direction.
Here's a quick update with a pre recap screen capture and post recap screen capture. I uploaded some lossless compressed avi samples over at the following thread if anyone is interested (http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/vide...html#post61278). Attachment 10041 ^^Clear barber pole/diagonal rainbow issue due to bad caps on Y/C board Attachment 10042 ^^No more barber pole/diagonal rainbow, but still some issues. |
Congratulations.
My progress on that particular VCR I gave up on it. I took it apart and reconnected it several times making sure of the connections. The problem didn't go away. The video also suddenly became dark before it started spinning like a hard drive. I think something on the main board has gone bad. I don't really have time to decipher the main board and it is occupying too much space so I sold that off for parts. I still have 3 of those VCRs in working order which is more than enough. For the squeaky sounds baby oil does wonders rubbed on the old grease with a q-tip. It basically rejuvenates the old grease in the VCR. I did that in the problamatic one and the other sucessful one and all the squeaky sounds magically disappeared. Quote:

I've started a project here to track what I'm going to order for this rehab:

Yes, I can do that! I generally think it is a good exercise for someone doing repair to be able to refer to the schematic and try and figure out what components to get themselves (this device is recent enough that you can actually copy and paste most of the capacitors from the service manual in to mouser). There are a few oddities, though, and I would be happy to provide aid in any sort of repair project.
Rather than link to mouser, I will post exactly what I purchased for the Y/C board and Timer board. **I will post them later tonight. (Sorry, I did not mean to actually post this reply yet!!, haha).** |

Here are the aluminum electrolytic capacitors for the Y/C board and Timer board that I replaced.
Some brief notes: Y/C board has two divisions: Analog Y/C and Digital Y/C. The caps have reference numbers in the service manual that are coded as "Cyyxxx" where the "yy" is the board code and the "xxx" is the code of the capacitor within that board. So C33035 would correspond to the 35th capacitor on the board corresponding to 33. Note that both Y/C "divisions" are actually on the same physical board. Timer board code is 65, so those caps have reference number C65xx. Y/C Analog has code 30 (C30xxx). Y/C Digital has code 33 (C33xxx). The Y/C parts list can be found on the PARTS-8 and PARTS-9 pages of the service manual, near the end. The Timer board parts list is on PARTS-21 page. I will list the caps with this format (SM is Service Manual): <SM Reference #> | <SM Parts #> | <My Replacement (the Mfr.# via Mouser)> | <Brand of Replacement> | <SMD or Radial> | <Values> **Y/C ANALOG CAPS** C30005 ECEA0JKA101 ECE-A0JKA101 Panasonic Radial 6.3V 100uF C30009 ECEA1HKA3R3 ECE-A1HKA3R3 Panasonic Radial 50V 3.3uF C30010 ECEV1CA100 EEE-1CA100SR Panasonic SMD 16V 10uF C30012 ECEA1CKA100 ECE-A1CKA100 Panasonic Radial 16V 10uF C30014 ECEA1CKA100 ECE-A1CKA100 Panasonic Radial 16V 10uF C30015 ECEV1EA4R7 EEE-1EA4R7SR Panasonic SMD 25V 4.7uF C30020 ECEA1CKA100 ECE-A1CKA100 Panasonic Radial 16V 10uF C30027 ECEV1HA010 EEE-HA1H1R0AR Panasonic SMD 50V 1uF C30031 ECEA0JKA101 ECE-A0JKA101 Panasonic Radial 6.3V 100uF C30033 ECEV1EA4R7 EEE-1EA4R7SR Panasonic SMD 25V 4.7uF C30037 ECEA1HKAR22 UFG1HR22MDM1TD Nichicon Radial 50V 0.22uF C30039 ECEA0JKA101 ECE-A0JKA101 Panasonic Radial 6.3V 100uF C30055 ECEA0JKA470 ECE-A0JKA470 Panasonic Radial 6.3V 47uF C30060 ECEV0JA470 EEE-0JA470SR Panasonic SMD 6.3V 47uF C30062 ECEV1CA220 EEE-1CA220SR Panasonic SMD 16V 22uF C30070 ECEV0JA470 EEE-0JA470SR Panasonic SMD 6.3V 47uF **Y/C DIGITAL CAPS** C33002 ECEV0JA470 EEE-0JA470SR Panasonic SMD 6.3V 47uF C33004 ECEV0JA470 EEE-0JA470SR Panasonic SMD 6.3V 47uF C33006 ECEV0JA470 EEE-0JA470SR Panasonic SMD 6.3V 47uF C33008 ECEA0JKA101 ECE-A0JKA101 Panasonic Radial 6.3V 100uF C33010 ECEA0JKA101 ECE-A0JKA101 Panasonic Radial 6.3V 100uF C33012 ECEA0JKA101 ECE-A0JKA101 Panasonic Radial 6.3V 100uF C33016 ECEV0JA470 EEE-0JA470SR Panasonic SMD 6.3V 47uF C33017 ECEV1CA100 EEE-1CA100SR Panasonic SMD 16V 10uF C33019 ECEV0JA470 EEE-0JA470SR Panasonic SMD 6.3V 47uF C33020 ECEV1CA100 EEE-1CA100SR Panasonic SMD 16V 10uF C33022 ECEV0JA470 EEE-0JA470SR Panasonic SMD 6.3V 47uF C33027 ECEV1HA010 EEE-HA1H1R0AR Panasonic SMD 50V 1uF C33029 ECEV0JA470 EEE-0JA470SR Panasonic SMD 6.3V 47uF C33030 ECEV1CA100 EEE-1CA100SR Panasonic SMD 16V 10uF C33032 ECEV0JA470 EEE-0JA470SR Panasonic SMD 6.3V 47uF C33035 ECEV0JA470 EEE-0JA470SR Panasonic SMD 6.3V 47uF C33036 ECEV1CA100 EEE-1CA100SR Panasonic SMD 16V 10uF C33072 ECEV1CA100 EEE-1CA100SR Panasonic SMD 16V 10uF **TIMER BOARD CAPS** C6501 ECEA1HKA100 ECE-A1HKA100 Panasonic Radial 50V 10uF C6503 ECEA0JKS330 ECE-A0JKS330B Panasonic Radial 6.3V 33uF C6506 ECEA1EKS4R7 ECE-A1EKS4R7 Panasonic Radial 25V 4.7uF C6507 ECEA1EKS4R7 ECE-A1EKS4R7 Panasonic Radial 25V 4.7uF C6510 ECEA0JK221 ECE-A0JKA221B Panasonic Radial 6.3V 220uF C6520 ECEA0JKS470 ECE-A0JKS470 Panasonic Radial 6.3V 47uF C6522 ECEA0JKS470 ECE-A0JKS470 Panasonic Radial 6.3V 47uF C6524 ECEA1CKA101 ECE-A1CKA101 Panasonic Radial 16V 100uF C6526 ECA0JM221 ECA-0JM221 Panasonic Radial 6.3V 220uF C6528 ECEA1VKA100 ECE-A1VKA100 Panasonic Radial 35V 10uF C6528 ECEA1CKA220 ECE-A1CKA220B Panasonic Radial 16V 22uF The only one I couldn't find a Panasonic cap for was C30037, so I got a Nichicon. Otherwise, the only caps that have names that aren't almost exactly the same are the SMD ones. Also, note that I am a NOVICE, so there could be errors here!! I defer to other more experienced posters on this forum if there are any errors. These are the caps I got and replaced them and things are working out right now. For the SMD soldering, I got a Weller ETS tip (long conical 0.015") for the Weller WES51D soldering station that I already had (uses PES51 iron). This worked out much better than I expected. Also one last thing to note, there is a smaller board that attaches to the Y/C board that I missed recapping. It has three aluminum electrolytic caps on it and has board code 36 and labeled VEP03D52. I can't find it in the copy of the manual that I have- I think it is a newer revision or something. Maybe it is the Y/C sub video, but I haven't looked that closely for it in the manual. |

For some background, here's what I'm trying to fix.
https://streamable.com/p3mb2 The video will usually play somewhat, but it's SUPER dark and has no color at all. When I pause I get static as shown near the end, then the static won't go away. Some tapes play as all static, but the sound works. The mechanism seems like it's in good shape and I cleaned the heads (they weren't even that dirty it turns out). I think this thing belonged to a school and didn't see a lot of use. Hopefully the recap gets me a nearly like-new machine! I paid $100 for it. I'm going to try a local dude in Baltimore who probably has gear to tune up this VCR once it works. Ideally it'd be up to par with my TGrant 1980 I got recently - MAN IS THAT NICE! If I can't get anyone local do tune it up properly, I'll probably be asking for recommendations on gear to do it myself. I have a lot of equipment already like an o-scope, so AFAIK if I get the right function and sweep generators and follow the service manual I should be able to do it myself. |
I created a spreadsheet here to make getting these components pulled up in mouser a little faster:
Google Sheets: Panasonic AG-1980P Capacitor Directory I also added a bunch more components from these boards using the service manual. There's still a few unknowns, so maybe others replacing these components can contribute more to this. I'll be filling it as needed while undertaking this repair. |
Please attach all files/images/videos to the forum, not external sites that may someday disappears (Google Docs, etc).

Yeah I have a scope and some other basic equipment, but it seems the gold standard in tuning a vcr is specialized sweep and signal generators. You can seemingly pick these upon eBay from $50-$200 for most units, but as I don't plan on doing this often I'm probably going to go visit that little shop in Baltimore that purports to tune VCRs and see what the owner says. If I get a bad result from that interaction, I'll consider either sending it off (sigh) or doing it myself.
