Hitachi Hi-Fi VCR Model VT-F380A recently acquired

[vortalexfan]

Hello everyone the other day I was at a local Goodwill and found a Hitachi Hi-Fi VCR Model VT-F380A in excellent shape for $2.50 and I was wondering if it was considered a decent performing VCR or not and when it was made.

By the looks of it and the fact that it as the old style split wire cord (as opposed to the one piece cord like the later units had) I was thinking this might of been mid to late 1990s but I'm not sure and it seems to have some nice features like digital auto tracking and auto head cleaning and even front mounted AV inputs.

Any information about this VCR would be appreciated, and also what the original remote would of looked like so I could locate one for it on fleabay would be appreciated.

Thanks
