Hi Folks,
Following my last successfull repair job, I thought I might pull out the VCR and see if I can work out why the display blanked out a while back. It still works fine, just no display on the front.
So I downloaded the service manual, and got it all dissasembled, the screen seems to be made of a thick glass piece (LCD?), there is no LED or Globes I could find that might be responsible for illuminating the display. As I inspected the unit, I noticed a large black spot in the lower right corner, so I think the screen piece is stuffed.
On the back of the screen it has a sticker "Futaba BJ100GK / P.N. VSL0276-B"
Any idea where I could source one of these ? I suspect it's a pretty old part, as its a pretty old VCR, am I wasting my time ?
