Lines: 8 Keywords: Need recommendations! Summary: Tape Loading I am posting this for a friend of mine. He has a JVC model 555 VCR that has developed a problem lately. When he tries to play a tape after the machine has been sitting around for a while, like overnight, the machine will stop in the middle of loading the tape and shuts off. When he turns it back on, and try again, it plays normally. If he lets it sit around for a while, the same problem reappears. Does anybody have any ideas what may be the problem?
