I have a Sony SLV-R1000 SVHS machine that is collecting dust at my home. Is there any interest here? I thought I'd offer this guy up to those at VK before listing it on the evil empire.

Yes. Is it working, how much do you want and what do you want for shipping to 53072?

I have a friend that is about to give me three parts machines in exchange for a working different make SVHS deck...2 of his were working and in use (until after x many failures he got sick of cobbling them back to life). They are great performers when working, but reliability is TERRIBLE. I might stand a fighting chance of making one work long term if I start with a working one and three parts decks...
