WTB: Sony VCR Power Supply Module

[Mark Berkley]

I'm trying to repair a Sony SLV-R5UC S-VHS VCR and it appears that part
of the power supply module is fried based on the visible burns. I'd
like to just replace the entire module if I can find one. Here are the
numbers on it:

HS-31SU
1-413-566-11
F5L-89014-9

I'm guessing, but it looks like the first number is the module part
number. I also would believe that this module is used in various Sony
VCR's.

If anyone has one or has any ideas about where I might get one for a
reasonable price please let me know! I guess I also need a phone number
for Sony where I can order this if I can't find a used one someplace -
anyone have that handy?

Thanks a bunch,
Mark

You can call Sony and get one and it will cost you around $165.00 or try
Fulton Electronics 517-394-5020.

Or these commonly are dark on the back side. I have a hobby on the side of
refurbishing SLV-R5's. I could rebuild your supply with new electroyltic
capacitors for $70.00. I use High speed/Low ESR/High Temperature Switching
power supply capacitors that are made for this type of supply. Beware many
will throw in normal Cap and they have a very short life in the supply.

Let me know if you want more info. I'm in the Northern Virginia Area.

Kurtis, Do you still repair these?

Mark,

The 1-413-566-11 is the correct format for a Sony part number. Why not
try a Sony parts distributor in your area, or Sony?

I don't think the complete module is available any more. One has to replace
the caps, and repair the foil damaged by cap leakage.
Often the switcher IC is bad, and sometimes a 4-legged 5V regulator IIRC.
