Hi Guys, I just found a VZ-2000 in a local auction (Adelaide, Australia). I didn't get an oppertunity to test it but bought it anyway as I was so blown away by it's size and the whole vertical lp player thing that I had to have it.
Other than being dusty it looked to be in good order. It came with a manual, has all of it's buttons but was missing it's a/c cable which I replaced easily. It powers up and the radio sorta works (falls off the station constatnly).
Here's the real problem. - I can't get the record to spin or the arms to move at all. I've taken out the three locking/shipping screws from the back of the unit and have looked at the troubleshooting bit in the manual with no luck.
Ive downloaded the service manual but before I begin to pull it apart and fudge my way around inside, I thought I'd check with you guys in hope of a simple solution.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong or forgetting something? I've never seen another boombox like it.
Any ideas would be awesome!
