Hi @fusionsm103
What is the VCR doing now i.e. does it turn or or not, load/eject tape, if loading does the tape start with no picture but sound OK etc.
If there's still a screeching sound heard then here's the [document|40887|service manual] that will help.
It describes the procedure to open the player and this will allow you to find out where the noise is coming from.
If it is determined that is is an electrical noise then the manual has schematic and board layout diagrams.
If it is mechanical, there's a parts list as well.
