I have confirmed that the VHS plays, fast forwards, and rewinds. I was able to operate it from the main unit and the remote control. I have removed dust from the inside, cleaned the heads, and greased the drive parts. The exterior of the main unit has been cleaned with ethanol. The remote control has also been cleaned. This is an auction for the main unit, the three-color cable, and the remote control. The slightly higher price is due to the maintenance. Please understand that this is a used item.
