Hello, again! A year ago, I asked you about the Sony Betamax SL-5000. I have a guy fixing it right now, but he ran into an issue with the servo locking in. He says he would need an oscilloscope to be able to see the output signal and dial it in. I'm not sure if you know anything about that, but I would appreciate any help. Thank you so much!

I’m not sure how one would troubleshoot that servo section without an oscilloscope and an original service manual. One has to be able to view the waveforms to align it properly or troubleshoot it, unless it’s something very obvious such as a power supply rail missing. Hard to say much more without it in front of me. Did he replace all the Sanyo capacitors in the servo section? If not I wouldn’t do anything until I did that. They’re a known problem.

@Tapes1982 He replaced the capacitors and said that the servo wouldn't stay locked in. Something with the tracking. Other than that, everything else seems to be working.

@@youknowho4439 could be it just needs to be aligned. I’ve always had to fiddle with the adjustments at least a little after replacing those capacitors. It’s concerning this person doesn’t have an oscilloscope.

@@Tapes1982 Yeah, that's what I thought. He said he was adjusting it, but it kept coming loose.
