I never understood the purpose of auto head cleaners in VCR's. From experience I have found they do more harm than good, especially when the little pad becomes hard and dirty; so I always removed them. I also do not recommend using wet-type video cassette head cleaners either (they simply don't work). Special guest appearance by Mr. Acetone - a workshop tech's best friend. I believe you may have yet another happy customer with a unit that stays out of landfill for at least a few more years or so. 2 thumbs up. :o)

thx steve great video ... no video of the mountaineer? lol i had a 03 v8 302 all wheel drive possie rears front and back and put 235000 miles on it had it from 06 to 2020 bought it at 80000 the only thing i had to do to it that it was broke down was a fuel pump it didnt start in my drive way dropped the tank and then a a coil pack the ac compressor clutch broke but you can replace that with out evacuating the system and that ac blew cold all those years i hated to get rid of it but it was falling apart oh yeah and both front wheel hubs bearings driver side three times because i kept buying the cheep ones from china

@@mikec9112 302 i meant lol it had the mustang engine in it i think it was 5.0 thats why i bought it my thinking was that a smaller suv had a v8 would last and i was towing with it because in my experience smaller engines pushing a big car down the road tend to not last i worked in the 80s as a Pontiac then Honda mechanic the Pontiac smaller v6s always had problems but the bigger v6 4.1 i did very little repairs smaller 3.8 and think 231 with the oil pump in front of the engine crank case externally were the worst i was always doing engine work on the smaller ones in Bonneville's and the other big cars it really needed an v8 which was rare they were all trying to get good fuel mileage with the 6 cylinder the trans am 83 5.0 HO automatic trans if you stomped on the pedal it would light em up but did a lot of engine work on those too mostly because of union issues sabotage they would push brand new trans ams off the car carrier with pistons out the side of the block roomer was union sabotage

@@mikec9112 the hub assembly was a pressed bearing no torque required the assembly took 3 bolts holding into place on the car the first one i did took me 45 minutes was surprised it was that easy they priced at around 240 to 400 dollars but found one for 85 at auto zone here come to find out made in china it got noisy wasnt failing just real noisy so i replaced it and again same thing my third time i had my receipt and told them i didnt even put 3000 miles on it they said yeah we are having issues with that brand made in china they gave me a better one as an exchange

@DAN GATES No, I should have done one. As you obviously saw it is on my personal facebook page. Maybe I will post the snipets of it, although I was thinking on doing a video on how to test the speed sensors as the replacement xfer case had a bad one that I had to swap over from the old xfer case. I got this one from a coworker at my old job as the check engine light was on and he could not figure it out. He threw new plugs, plug wires, EGR valve, and a new fuel pump in it to no avail. I paid $700 for it in 2014 with 149K on the clock. The code was for an EGR performance issue, I found a rodent had chewed the EGR vacuum line and I just used a piece of vacuum hose from the solenoid to the EGR valve and viola no check engine light. I did get a replacement vacuum harness from the junkyard but haven't installed it (probably never will). Thanks Dan!

NP that EGR code came on the first couple months i bought mine and the hose was off put it back on and it was fixed then it came on again and i replaced the solenoid light went out again this was like a 3 year period then it did it again i swapped the solenoid from my link navigator it went out again for a while ha ha then the light came back on and i said not fixing it... it didn't fail inspection here in pa so i let it go finally the check engine light bulb blew out ha ha that and the coil pack was the only check engine pcm codes i ever had i have to say the mountaineer was a good vehicle as far as maintenance and investment i figured for what i paid for it had it for like 14 years cost 1500 a year to own like i said i hated to get rid of it now where you live car bodies and under carriages last for ever keeping a lot of older vehicles on the road something some people dont like there in your state ha ha
