… They did the impossible; got a VX5000 working for me (and they swore they would never work on one again)…… -Gregg
I know exactly why. A running and working VX5000 is a lot of work, around 200 caps to replace … and around 100 further never seen and hidden in a lot of boxes making heat problems…
This are of the replaced caps you can see … and arond 100 more unseen inside a lot of boxes…
Not talking about capstan motors, gearboxes, clutches, loading units, flaps, unused analog tuners, power supplies… 12kg electronics is overkill.
But it can be done. Some are running now for years, cool and reliable…
