JVC problem

Hi
My name is minoo, from Romania and yes, is related to this site: http://www.pechorin.com/m/2004/01/22/JVC_error_codes_assistance-208527.html
I have a JVC GR DVP1 which is basically perfect but each time I try to play/record there's an E03 message showing. Now some other forums reccommend to clean the capstan very careful with a dip of alcohol and a cotton stick.
Anyway, before doing anything I would like to hear some opinions... thanks for your time!

PS
we don't have an official JVC service in Romania, just a franchise which is bad...

  Hi.
  It seems to be a big problem that JVC makes money out of when all the trouble is THE CAPSTAN HAS FELL TO BITS they are onle held together with magnets.
  We have fixed 9 out of 10 with no problem.
  They are a good investment if you want to make a quick buck and I bye any amount of them at the right price it`s worth a chance to have a go at it.
  We find that with a little time involved and a strip down it is possible to fix them in an evening at a cost of about £55 for the time plus post.
  Hope that helps you.
  Cheer`s Ken.
