I purchased this VCR new in 1981, in the early days of video recording, for over $700 - still have the receipt! Unfortunately, in the late '80's, the belts went out on it, and need replaced.  As far as I know, that is the only problem with this machine, so, if you are so inclined, you may be able to find belts, fix it and have a great machine!  However, it is sold as is, no returns.  I have seen the service manuals and universal replacement VCR belts on Ebay, so, they are available. I have more pictures - email if interested, or with any questions on the features of this deck. Case is walnut color, and is in great shape, a few light scratches on the top.  I have most of the original paperwork for this machine (haven't found the manual - a Quick Reference Guide is included), and have kept the original box and all the packing, in which the item will be shipped. ALL SALES FINAL ON THIS ITEM, NO RETURNS. If interested, I also have a hard plastic dust cover that fits the deck, 14" x 19 1/2" x 2", that I will sell for an additional $5 plus shipping & handling (will have to ship separately, as it will not fit in the box with the VCR).   Let me know if you'd like to know more about this item, and I will send a picture, plus S&H costs. Email me prior to bidding to assure you are clear about any questions you may have regarding the item. Payment and Shipping Buyer to contact me within 3 days of the closing of the sale.
