Philips N1700 (VCR-LP format) video recorder from 1978. Let's fix some faults.

The Philips N1700 VCR-LP model uses a square cassette where the tape starts at the bottom and is wound to the top. It's based on the earlier VCR format often known as N1500. This machine I repaired some weeks ago, but there were outstanding issues with tape mis-tracking, a defective EJECT function and poor FF/REW operation. Let's see if we can bottom out these faults.
