Panasonic NV-V8000 VHS - Part 6 - It WORKS!

This one's a little bit different insofar as we get the Panasonic NV-V8000 VHS machine finally working! Bad video output, poor lacing, a mysterious capstan judder and odd front panel behavior all feature in this one! I did carry out a few checks after recording this video and it was pretty spot on with alignment which was pretty amazing given everything it's been through! There was some HiFi audio pops on the first recording test but a clean and a decent tape and the performance is great! The image quality is outstanding too. I'm hoping to have another one to repair soon and hopefully will have the remote so I can demo the features of this amazing piece of kit.
