Timecode on VX-1000

If I have a tape that already has non-continuous timecode on it, how
can I get a continuous TC track since the camera apparently does not
re-record timecode if it sees TC on the tape?

Black and code an entire tape, then do a camera-to-camera dub to that tape.
This should work - I've received dubs of obviously broken-TC tapes with
continuous TC (which was hell for the tape logs, but should work for you :D)

Does the VX-1000 re-record timecode on a tape with previous timecode
on it? I want to take a non-coninuous timecoded tape and re-do the
timecode in black all the way through.

What I'm saying is put continuous TC on a new tape, and do a
camera-to-camera direct dub from the broken TC tape to that  tape. It should
give you a continuous TC copy of the same footage.

As far as I know there's no way to restripe just the TC of a DV tape.
