I have confirmed that the VHS plays, fast forwards, and rewinds. I was able to operate the unit from both the main body 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, and the remote control has also been cleaned. This listing includes the main unit, a 3-color cable, and the remote control. The slightly higher price is due to the maintenance. Please understand that this is a used item.
