My RCA Model VR560 VCR has a spring, function unknown, in the cassette loader portion. I don't know why the spring is there. Its 1 inch long end, as shown against my thumb, isn't connected to anything. Why is the spring there? We also have problems inserting and removing VHS cassettes as they get stuck inside requiring full disassembly for removal. The plastic tape protector doesn't flip up all the way to allow the tape to spool out onto the player head.
Next, the display numbers were very dim as viewed through the red plastic lens. They appeared faintly yellow. So I found that by cutting away the red clear plastic in front of them and applying clear tape in its place, they were now readable in their blue form. The fluorescent numbers, of some sort, dimmed with age. I pass this on as an aid to others.
