I'm reposting this question again in the hopes that perhaps someone
has come across one of these remotes sitting on a shelf that perhaps
they might want to part with.
GE (Panasonic ) VCR model 1VCR4002X old top loader wired remote
question
I picked up a 1983 GE model 1VCR4002X, (made by Panasonic, I think)
top load VCR for 2.00 at a thrift store. I know it probably sounds
silly but I really like these old top load machines and the bullet
proof way that they were bult. I never ran accross one with a wired
remote though, so this one is early. Anyway my intention was to set
this unit up at our camp this Summer to watch tapes mainly and to
occaisionally record something on one of the three channels we can
sometimes receive. I did all the mechanical work and the machine is
running fine but I never got the wired remote that went with this
model. I've seen them in the past though. They look like a standard IR
unit except there is a long wire and a mini plug on the end. Does
anyone know how these worked? Was it just a series of different
resistances which were selected by pressing the desired button or was
there something a bit more sinister going on? If possible I would like
to obtain one of these remotes or perhaps to set aside an evening of
boredom I'd assemble one in a bud box. Would anyone have a schematic
of whats inside the remote? Any assistance would be most sincerely
appreciated. Thanks, Lenny Stein, Barlen Electronics
