I have a Sony SL-S600 Betamax VCR that works like a charm...except for the fact that the capstan motor won't run (play, FF, REW) the tape.
I've seen some posts that say the motor is not the issue, it's the four pin chip that is next to it that reads the speed of the motor.
I tend to believe this since the motor will actually run for a moment when I hit the Pause buttone (oddly enough)
The bottom line is I don't know where to buy a new motor assembly or someone who could replace the four pin chip? Or is there a way for me to fix what I have here another way?
Any ideas or help?
