Nicest looking VCR for your vintage console TV...

A very nice, super-rare looking 1982 General Electric VHS VCR with wooden panel trims all around it. This unit will look best to put over on top of your console TV. I think this unit was made by Hitachi, if I'm correct.

So sad, 4 ad relists without a single buyer. I assume it got e-wasted. This is such a nice looking unit, especially the wood-trim appearance on top.

I have a early mechanical tuner Zenith Beta model jr-9000w.
It has some electronic bugs that I need to fix, but appears to be very well built(the mechanics remind me of some reel to reel audio machines I've worked on).
I also have two EAIJ video decks which are esentially profesional consumer units(which would have been their market seeing as they predate Beta).

I don't keep any pre 90s VHS(with the exception of two top loaders) because they often lack features that I must have on the units I use for time shifting/archiving, such as HiFi stereo, and S-VHS/S-VHS-ET recording.

Though all my beta equipment is pre 1990.

Tom, I think that Zenith is the first Zenith Beta VCR, the same as a Sony SL-8200 basically. From 1977-78.

This should just fit into the age range here.
Just finished repairing an old NEC N9052A from about 1989. Seriously heavy unit, fairly simple mechanically. According to my parts sources this was most likely made by NEC themselves, and was probably one of the last to do so. Later on they used Daewoo for a short while then switched to Goldstar/LG for the remainder of the time that NEC sold VCRs, at least in this country.
The main item of note is under the deck with the mechanism for the tape threading, it is like no other VHS machine that I have come across with the two full circle gears, kind of like a beta machine.
Unit works well now, only a mono machine but I find mono machines better for jumping ads with as they are quicker to get sound back after picture search than most HiFi machines.

Compare that to some of the '84-'88 model JVCs like this bottom view of a HR-D725.



I always thought NEC copied the mechanism from JVC. Don't recall any of of the parts were interchangeable but the basic mechanism and loading system is very similar.
