The VBT200 (along with the VCT200, which is the same model with a different color cabinet) was the first VCR offered by RCA. As andy says, it's made by Matsushita. There has never been a VHS or Beta VCR made in the USA or by a American company, for that matter.
Also as andy says, it's a nearly absolute certainty that it needs new belts. They're located below the transport and are accessible by removing the bottom cover and then removing the screws that lock the PC-board "rails" to the chassis (I think all of those screws are red or have arrows pointing to them). The boards are mounted to two sets of rails that are hinged at one side so you can 'unfold' the circuitry away from the chassis without having to disconnect any of the wiring.
The fact that the loading mechanism works is a good sign though.
