My trusty Philips TV/Video combi's VCR is starting to go, i reckon. I have made a couple of recordings on it in recent weeks and the recording plays ok for a few minutes, then the tracking goes, meaning I have to get it to auto clean itself. Twice in the last couple of weeks it has totally screwed up some recordings it has made, rendering the picture totally unwatchable, all snow with sound only.
My question is, althought the VCR plays tapes fine otherwise (with a slight tracking glitch here and there) do you reckon it's wearing out? I've had it for eight years and used it constantly in that time, it must be said.
