Subject: Sony VCR enters weird state after rewind or fast forward
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed

My Sony SLV-E470EG VCR is now operating in a weird manner after 
rewinding or fast-forwarding the tape.  All functions behave OK, until 
stop or play is pressed during a fast-forward or rewind operation.

At that point a noise of a motor running without effect is heard for 
about 4 seconds.  From that point onward the play, rewind and fast 
forward commands do not produce any action.  An eject command will start 
rewinding the tape (at relatively low speed) for about 20 seconds. 
After that point the tape will be ejected.  When the tape is loaded 
again the cycle (normal play / eject, until play / stop is hit during 
rewind / fast-forward) can be repeated.

I have read the VCR part of the Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ and tried the 
various suggestions.  The VCR has only a single belt, which has gears 
and appears to be OK.  The only visible problem I could see was a 
partially unglued rubber break pad on the supply spindle, which I fixed. 
  All gears appear to be intact, and no foreign materials appear to be 
blocking them.

I would appreciate any ideas you may have.
