Buy a new one!!. I have an old Mitsubishi S-VHS machine myself (U-80 Circa 1987) and I recently paid $150.00 to have it serviced. It was a top of the line unit in it's day but hey, New S-VHS machines today cost $150.00 and yes, they do not seem to be as well built, but I bet that they last a good 5 years and perform as well as my old unit!!.

The truth is, It's gonna' cost you a hundred dollars or more to service any audio or video component, and that being said....it's just not worth it nowadays. With electronics as cheap as they are, just buy a new one and spare yourself the headache!!
