Stereo. Nice. But the question is: what brand is inside?

I know it's made by sharp I wonder if there is a sharp version of it.

My dad had one similar to that back in the early 1990s, His was not that good though, that one looks to have 4 heads and HiFi audio, my dad's was 2 head with linear audio.

Hi, welcome back... If the manufactured date shows September 1985 year at the back, it's the newer mechanism chassis, and the loading belt is broken and needs to be replaced. It's located at the far-left corner near the power supply area.

There was an older Sharp VCR version made in 1983-1984 year that used geared-driven loading motor instead, and this one was more-reliable and lasted a lifetime.

This model shows it's a 2-head Hi-Fi stereo model.

Yes, 2 video heads with 2 audio Hi-Fi heads. The clone model of Montgomery Ward JSJ-10664 is Sharp VC-5F5U.

There is a higher-end Sharp VC-5F7U (see photo) that comes with real 4 video heads and 2 Hi-Fi audio heads. It must show "VI4" at front of the VCR, indicating 4 real video heads.

A 2 head Hi-Fi VCR sure is a unicorn. Cool!

Reminds me of the 1984 Stereo Mistubishi HS-400UR which had 2 video heads and 2 hi-fi heads.
