Does anyone know of a good place to get a VCR repaired in the Baltimore metro area?

Is this a joke?

The Twilight Zone.

...and in "rear projections", too.

Get a used one at your local Salvation Army store for $25.

I'm working towards a degree in VCR repair from the comfort of my own home.

Daaad, what's a VCR?

 

[mgold]

I thought of getting a used one, but this was a very good VCR. Also people tend to give away equipment that won't work well! I still have a lot of VHS tapes that I don't necessarily want to buy again on DVD!


I tried opening up the VCR to fix it. It seems like the gearing is jamming on the loading mechanism, and there might be some connection problem. The model is a Mitsubishi HS-U500.

Well, you've certainly come to the right place. The "Rear Projection" forum has a plethora of information on VCR's and VCR repair. You'll find many threads dedicated to the HS-U500 alone due to it's extensive rear projection capabilities.

When my old VCR failed I bought a used one and converted all of my VCR tapes to DVDs using my analog TV tuner card.

I did a search, and didn't find anything on the HS-U500 in the Forums.

I'm being facetious. Since you're in the "Rear Projection" forum, which has absolutely nothing to do with VCR's, you won't find any answers. All these posts have been trying to tell you that in a lighthearted way or to advise you to buy another VCR. So to be clear, you're in the wrong forum. You'll have to look elsewhere for answers to your VCR questions. Good luck.

There doesn't seem to be an forum category for VCRs. However, you can try your question over at the DVD Recorder side. The folks there can be more helpful since some of them are interested in converting VHS to DVDs.
