[Operation confirmed. No problems at all.] I've replaced many video decks since the Showa era, and this is my last one. Back then, I used to operate them daily to record TV programs, but this video deck is for playback only, and I only used it occasionally. The heads are still in good condition. I cleaned them regularly with a cleaner. It is not a junk item.
