Another Sanyo VCR-4500 household here. Besides the occasional belt and idler replacement, its been a tank after years of recording and playback. I recently picked up a VCR-6400 (4 head version of the 4500) and all it needs is... belts and a idler. The Betaphiles HATE these decks because they don't play B-I speed, un-thread the tape every time you push STOP, and the video quality is so-so. They are miles ahead more reliable then their Sony counterparts though and seem to track all my problem tapes without issue.
