I had to leave the room. It smells terrible.
The VCR turned on without a problem at first glance. I want into my room to grab a VHS and was about to put it in when the device started smoking and making fireworks sounds.
I turned the power outlet off immediatly. But too late to prevent an horrid smell of burnt plastic to take over the flat.

Judging by where the smoke is coming from, I think something went horribly wrong with the power supply. I presume some capacitors died. Maybe the main fliter caps? There was a *lot* of smoke.
I moved the VCR to the basement. Hoppefully this will help clear the smell.
@Sylvhem the cat is never disturbed by events
@sieri I’m afraid this one is rather easy to disturb 😅.
The bad news is, I don’t have a VCR anymore. The good news is, I now have a VCR to fix.
