I have a working Sears version of that Sanyo...The transport control buttons are different, but they other wise look the same.
That dual deck has S-VHS-ET. The ET part means that it can record in S-VHS quality on regular VHS (ie. not S-VHS) tapes. It is the best of both VHS worlds as you can time shift in S-VHS quality using cheap normal VHS tapes. I used to time shift in S-VHS-ET and it was almost impossible to tell the difference between it and live cable.
Check your local Walgreens or Radio Shack for mini DV tapes. It was a camcorder format and a lot of places supported it long after they stopped making cams that use it....I've never used that format, so I'd be kinda curious how it compares to VHS.
