Flying erase is important if you do editing. Cleans up the video insertion points for the first few seconds until the fully erased part of the tape gets to the head cylinder. Does zero for picture resolution.
Your JVC that got hit- I'd say maybe a good chance it could have been fixed with a fuse and a power supply drive transistor.
