Have you checked whether it was recorded on LP (LongPlay)? If your camera/deck is different then the LP mode from a different source might be another reason for the screen/TC breakup.

>>auto off s_reel lock<<
That's a Panasonic DVX100b camera problem alert. The camera needs servicing.

Yeah isn't always the way - the worst possible time for that to happen. 
It is a relatively easy fix - just a supply reel lock. Unless the camera was dropped and the transport was damaged, they should be able to fix it. I think this is quite common on the 100bs.
The thing is, the camera will keep doing this at intervals until you get it seen to, so it's a necessary evil.

Did you already try playing the tape in a proper deck rather than cameras used as decks? Or taken it to a post house or a video engineer to see if it's salvageable?
If all the footage is like this, period, you might want to just buy some helicopter stock footage if you don't have project-specific elements in the shot.

I hate to see this happen to anybody but the footage is useless.

So would you guys say that i could probably get by with using the dvx that has this problem just 3 more times.
Not unless you want more of the same useless footage.

I have a shoot this evening at 4pm (ballet) and then saturday @ 9:30am(interview) and another at 3pm(mayor). Would you take a chance on this type of problem. I could reschedule everything but what i have today.
Uh...no. Reschedule. Rent / borrow a cam for tonight

How long does it normally take the repair to be done?
Call a repair shop & ask them...different issues / different repair times

Is there any cali repair shop that can do the repair pronto?
Cali's a big state. Google the city / Panasonic Authorized Service Center

>>I kinda think that panasonic will take 5-8 weeks which i cant afford.

Can you afford to go to every shoot knowing that you might come home with nothing on tape? You might have to bite the bullet and rent something - or reschedule where you can.
