Sony Alignment Problem?
|
Can't Post

Hi Kids!
I recently purchased an 8mm Sony CCD-F201 at a garage sale for $10. I knew I was taking a small chance but the
camera, case, manuals and accessories all looked to be brand new or hardly used. The battery charged correctly and I even treated the camera to multiple passes with a brand new cleaning tape.
It appears to playback sound well enough, however, no images on playback - just some wavy gray bands across my TV. Also when looking thru the viewfinder in STBY or REC the image seems to be quickly jumping or rolling. I can barely makeout the STBY or REC rolling by or anything else the camera might be screaming at me. Could this be the alignment problem these old 8mm are know for? If so, what cost am I looking at to have a local shop adjust this problem?
Thanking any responder in advance -Roy
