So obviously we aren't the first people do to this ever. Beck told us we were probably the first people to do it ourselves with their own kits. Every other time the owners have opted for final assembly at their facility.
How can I buy your conversion van, when you are done with it? My father in law had one back in the day and is currently in need of a new car and this would be perfect! Please help us out!
Yeah, that was funny. And how much help is Hoovie gonna be? He just gets in the way. I know it makes good content for his channel but I like it when the pros a.k.a. The Wizard take over and it gets done.
The vcr you got in that van is fine it's not broken. The problem you are facing is because when vcr's are sitting for a long time they tend to collect dust inside and that is the reason why you have that snowing screen. Take off the top cover of the vcr and "carefully" try to clean all the parts with alcohol using a q tips or whatever they called that you are cleaning your ears with. Mainly try to clean the chrome wheel in there it's very important that it's super clean. Once you do that put the tape back in and enjoy the movie)
It's funny how they are clueless about VHS and VCR's...LOL I still have a VCR, still have family movies on tape. I got most converted over to the PC but still you never know.
You can clean the heads on the VCR very easily by first removing the top cover. Then use Q-tips dipped in rubbing alcohol clean the outside vertical surface of the big round polished aluminum head, paying particular attention to the spots which look like there are windings embedded on the surface. Just make sure you don't leave any Q-tip fibers on the head. I learned this back in the '90s when I was a military journalist working in a couple different tropical locations. We constantly had to clean the heads on our cameras and video playback machines due to the humidity. Good luck!
I was watching Barret-Jackson with my dad, as we always do, and I lost it when I saw you, and went on a binge showing my dad your videos. He loves it, said it reminds him of himself and my uncle!
As an fellow 80's child I am disappointed that you cant recognize a VCR tracking issues when you see one. Before auto trackers we were masters at those manipulating those little rotors to get the video as good as possible.
Adjusting the tracking was my first thought. Using a cleaner tape would be my second. Wizard you have to be kidding us. Surely you know how to fix a VCR.
Just saw you on the Barrett Jackson auctions introducing an LFA as I'm watching this video! It's great to see all of the different projects you dive into while being heavily involved in the community. Thanks for all the awesome videos 🤘
Wizard said "I haven't driven it, ice on the roads" I cracked up when Hoovie responds "Let's take it for a spin!" Had visions of him spinning all over the place on the icy road!
@@jessielivermore1826 What’s the point in upgrading? The whole point of the van is because it’s like the van he had when he was a kid. Why waste money on a stupid DVD player? It’s not like he doesn’t have another 5 cars that have modern backseat tvs
Larry @ CIS-Flowtech is the man, had him rebuild my K-jetronic system top to bottom. Super cool and a walking encyclopedia of these antique Bosch injection systems.
I used to do this, and my mother would bust me, yelling from the other room to my older brother and I "....you boys aren't watching those sKiN fLiCkS again, are you..?!?"
Except the audio comes through fine via direct output. The TV's got a blown cap in the receiver section somewhere. If tracking was that badly off on the VCR the audio would be completely mangled.
@@mfree80286 My guess it is on the wrong channel on the tv itself. I remember back in the day had the same thing happen. TV was switched to channel 2 when it was supposed to be channel 3.
About the VCR: dirty heads. Easy solution: use a long cotton swab with alcohol and put it inside the device and clean the equipment there. You'll see the cotton coming out rusty or even black. Better solution: remove the top cover from the VCR and do the cleaning from there. In both cases make sure the alcohol evaporates from the reading heads before inserting a cassette. Good luck.
It can be Tracking, Dirty Head, bad tape etc. First would be to see if tracking buttons but also pop in another tape. Takes a few seconds. You got to go pretty far back for manual tracking though although the unit in the Van was probably a lower end unit and not a $500 unit from the day.
This issue looks worse than tracking. Not convinced it's the VCR anyway, the TV had a ton of snow on it with no signal and the snow was still there with a signal.
Yes, he should try this. It also might be worth changing the channel. If he tried it on channel 4 for example but it is supposed to be channel 3 then it could look like that.
Dirty head, it's probably super moldy. He just needs a wet cleaning cassette. I have one but i don't think they're gonna call me nor see this comment lol
Love those '90's Mercedes, just can't help myself, of course the 92 400E is, you guessed it, on the way to the shop, oh well. Good to see you two hanging out together, stay safe.
My own experience with BMW is with only one car, but it is diametrically opposed to the Wizard's. I am the third owner of a '99 328i (E46), which has all the M goodies except for the engine (which I don't need or want). It had 89K on the clock when I bought it in '15, has 176K now, and has had almost NO problems. It's the best car I've ever owned.
To the hoovie it may concern, You're going to need more than just a VCR to win the trick van concourse. You'll need a VHS, a Beta-max, and most importantly, an authentic 1980's era VideoDisc player. Plus a disco ball. And one of those stickers that says, "IF THE VAN IS ROCKIN, DON'T COME KNOCKIN".
being from north jersey watching all the nothing in the background amazes me...how its just huge fields, no buildings or anything... i wish i lived there, maybe i wouldnt be afraid to get a motorcycle
I am a VCR master👍. Make sure your tv is set to the proper channel to receive the VCR. Is it hooked to an aux port or mono vcf? Your VCR might have dirty heads the wizard can just take it apart and manually clean the heads. These VCR's are actually fairly simple but dust and lack of use will lead to them working poorly. The wiz can bring it back no prob👍 plenty of videos on how to clean the heads here on the tubes🤗
Dude, I love your theme music. I grew up in the 70's-80's, and that could have been the soundtrack to my education story. I even went to Computer Camps of America (with the two donkus's... donki? The two kids from Ween) and had an apple 2GS! And that is why I hate computers. But the soundtrack you employ is like... Cinco inc. music. Love it!
Agreed. That was BS and it lit a big fire deep down since until the e90 nothing 3 series was horrible that you couldnt fix it with basic tools. Except for the fuel tank replacement on the m56 they e46 was typically sold since most had m54s
@@JAYD3EChannel Exactly, they're not that bad, I'll admit my E90 has had it's days, but even that hasn't been too difficult to work on, even with some limited knowledge.
Your presentation on Barrett-Jackson was quite impressive. Daddy Doug must be so proud (and jealous). It's great that you have stayed true to your "Hoopie Heritage".
Used to clean VCRs. Just take cover off VCR, get bottle of 99% rubbing alcohol, and use Qtip rubbed against the head (silver wheel). Keep dipping in alcohol and rubbing on head ( wheel). Then all points that video tape routs to. Rinse and repeat. 100% fix.
You need to adjust the tracking on the VCR. Not sure of the make and model, but there might be a pair of buttons which say "Tracking" or it might be a setting in a menu.
That vacuum system doesn't sound very clever though... they've made the same mistake as Citroen with hydraulics back in the days. A little leak could cause great problems...
1995 after getting my first job after graduating fron university I got my first "nice" car in life, a 1986 300SE. I remember I found the car was so incredibly smooth and luxurious! Only drawback really was the lack of low end power and the low gearing making revs annoyingly high when cruising at highway speed. These cars really need a V8 to get that more luxurious effortless feel!
Your van is the best year and example I've seen and I've owned 7 of them and currently have 2. You can't beat the rainbow transmission and and all the simplicity in that year combined with luxury and space. 👍😊
VCR has blocked heads on the rotating drum. Pop the lid, spray the tiny head slots with cleaner and you'll blast the bits of oxide shed from worn tape away and it'll be fine!
Hoovie your ancient VCR is doing that because it’s old and hasn’t been used in a while. You just need to open it blow some air at the area that reads the VCR tape film which looks like shiny cylinders. Then close it back up and try to put the Tape back in and run it. You should be good after that.
Guys its the VCR - I had dozen of VCR's , since they came out in the early 80's , clean the head with Alcohol use long stick q-tips open the cover where the cassette goes in and wip the silver circular ball up and down and wait till it drys and you can see the picture - or buy a cleaner on Amazon and if that does not work buy one for under 100.00.
It's the car from CarTrek, so I'm sure he's not going to sell it, considering the fact that he sold the last CarTrek car, but Ed and Freddy kept theirs.
Gidday from Australia. Yes I'm 47 years old so I know you need to use a head cleaner tape for the VCR and adjust the tracking on the VCR IV also got a couple of boxes of about 200 VCR movie's if you want them .lol
