VERY nice find!!!!!! My biggest thrill is getting something "as new in the box"!!! As said, keep oil FAR FAR away from VCRs. The only lubricating should be done with machine oil on a Q-tip, and only ONLY to melt the old, hardened existing moly grease where the factory used it on sliders, etc. One micro-drop of oil anywhere on the tape path will grab the tape, and often smash the heads out of the drum.
