I bought a selection of belts from a local electrics shop and got the beocord working. There was a cassette stuck inside the machine but when i changed the belt it came out beautifully.
The picture is quite distorted; it's wavy and rough. I'll have to go through the procedures shown in the vx5000 repair topic to improve this. One of those capstain motor capacitors was already replaced, but i'm going to replace the rest too. I'm going to have to lubricate the mechanism as it's squealing like million mosquitos at the moment... Otherwise the sound quality is very good. I'm pretty sure i'll have to change the battery too as the player already started shuting itself down after i had used it about half an hour.
