Video head adjustment

[Don Norwood]

Hi David:

Actually, that is the height adjustment.  Instead of the knob and shaft that you have, the “normal” head simply had an Allen head screw there.  The VR-1000 manual cautions the operator to be sure the head has stopped spinning before placing the wrench into the adjustment!  Essentially, via a pivot point, it raises or lowers the “bar” on which the guide rides.  The spring-loaded latch for the guide holds the guide both against that bar and against the engagement arm.

Don, 

You appear to be right about this extended screw adjustment. Guide height? I don't think so. I don't see any adjustment for guide height. Hence, ship the head with the tape was necessary. 




This head was sitting on my desk when I came to work after being out of town for a while. I suspect this head is from a VR-1000 that was at one of the networks here. I will ask the donor if he knows.

Stay tuned!



Best Regards,
