It may also be affected by the condition of the tapes, so please use it as a reference. Playback was of recordings made over 25 years ago (S-VHS standard quality), but it played back cleanly without any particular noise. I used 210-minute and 180-minute ultra-long tapes, but there were no tape jams. The exterior has signs of use such as scratches, but it is in better condition than most used items. There is also rust on the input/output terminals, but it seems to be working fine. ※Please check the photos I believe it is a product that can be used sufficiently, but it has been over 25 years since its manufacture. Please consider this with the understanding that there may be some issues. ⬜︎Accessories S-terminal cable, video/audio cable (0.6m). ※Remote control is not included. 　Basic operations can be performed on the main panel, but detailed operations specific to the device cannot be performed without the dedicated remote control. Please understand. ⬜︎Packing and Shipping There is no dedicated box, so it will be simply packaged (bubble wrap) and shipped in a processed cardboard box via Mercari delivery service.
