VX1000 Tape deck has white powder inside it.
I picked up a VX1000 for 130 AUD off of buyee.jp and ended up paying just over 400 AUD total because of shipping, it was an eight kilo package. It came with the hardcase, the camera and most of the factory accessories. The camera powers up, focuses, zooms, outputs to tv but the tape deck seems to be a lost cause. The tape deck ejects and closes just fine but whenever I put a tape in there, it makes a VERY faint clicking noise and then beeps with the eject symbol flashing, and I haven't been able to fix it. I have a Mini DVR but I don't want to produce videos with such a shitty capture method, and I'm too broke for an MRC1K. Any advice and if its worth fixing?
