Hey all,

This was spotted in the 3-week electronics recycling recently:

No worries if someone thought they were clearing out old, broken equipment or anything, not trying to call anyone out :slight_smile:

These are usually repairable, though! And quite expensive. Usually when good VHS equipment is broken, it’s best to try and fix it, or put a sign on it and make a thread on Talk saying that it’s broken. People won’t place blame, and someone will often step up to try and fix it.

This is has been a public service message brought to you by the letters P and Q. Carry on and keep doing cool stuff :slight_smile:

Is it real Hakko or it is a Chinese knock off?

They’re real.

I had a look at it the other night. Still powers on and does heat up.
@jon has suggested to try a factory reset (holding down both buttons while
turning on). If anyone is in before me, feel free to give that a go.
Otherwise it might be something internal (prob also fixable).
