Didn't bump the drum/head on anything. Had the VCR's sitting side-by-
side. 4 screws, doesn't get any easier. And the heads were cleaned
after the swap, before I even put a tape in.
The video problem still remains on the newer unit, plus it now has the
audio problem. The older unit has a fine picture, but it now has the
*same* audio problem. (very muddy and choppy while playing in HiFi.)

Is that something I can do with no special eqt?

I don't see why it wouldn't work, then again, I'm not a VCR
repairman.
It's not a huge deal now, last Saturday I found a BRAND NEW Sony SLV-
N55 (a better VCR anyway) for $8.00 at a Salvation Army! But, it would
be nice if I could resolve the audio problem on the older Panasonic,
if possible.
