[net.video] VCR tech info?

(oo)
Has anybody out there had any experience with getting service
manuals and schematics for VCRs?  The type I have is one made
by Mitsubishi and sold under several brand names, including
Panasonic, JCPenney (That's mine), and Sylvania.  It is a
very common model, a bare-bones rig, about three years old.
I recently had an audio problem with it that I *think* I've
got fixed, but I sure would like to have a schematic for
the thing so I can get a better handle on what went wrong
to begin with.

I recently purchased an RCA VJP900, and found the user info lacking, so
I set out to obtain a service manual.  A quick call to RCA Consumer Products
in Indianapolis told me all I needed to do was send them a check for $18
($15 for the manual, $3 for handling).  A week later, and I had the manual
in hand.

I also have a unit such as that discribed (a Matsushita, bare-bones type).
I have borrowed the service manual for it several times from a friend, so
I know it is available, and I assume easy to obtain.  (It has a nice
discription of VHS recording format in an introduction.)

Hope this helps, and is interest to > 1 person.
