jimmytavino 16 #4 May 23, 2009 that linkage is very delicate, and so if anything comes out of alignment it can effect the loading of a tape.. do you jump that camera with or without a protective box? without one, the camera can be subjected to taking a hit, usually as one exits from inside, and accidentally bangs the top of the door jamb....if that happens something could have become bent. the door which closes over the tape latches right at the top of the camera body,, and that area is susceptible to such damage. A strike of the camera could occur and not even be noticed,,, as you exited... try taking a good look there,, to be sure everything aligns like it should.. outside the camera and inside. visualize how all that tape carriage linkage interacts and make delicate adjustments if needed ... good luck jmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
