Re: SONY ORIGINAL PARTS

My CCD-F70 records yet the counter and 'REC" in the viewfinder jiggle. On playback the picture is a mess but I hear faint audio in playback. This camera was working when it was shipped to me in New Zealand from San Francisco. It was packed loosely with battery. It sounds like it is a tracking problem and I don't know how to adjust the tracking. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

    Cris, thanks for the fast response. But how do I adjust the (T)Guide? And how far do I dismantel the unit? I have an identical unit with a dead motor. Would it be easier switching motors or fix the tracking? I've adjusted tracking on VCRs but never on something this small. Can I obtain a drawing of the proceedure somewhere?

      Are you the Ken who used to live on Sacramento St? If yes, please reply, I have some important paperwork for you from the State of Oregon. I need your coordinates to forward it to you.
