I have one similar to that model.

Yes they are boat anchors.Just watch your back and wear steel toe boots.

Duly noted. If I see another one for cheap or free I'm bringing it home on my rather compact but sturdy dolly.

It is very interesting. I like unusual tape formats so this is a new favorite for video. I'm not bothered by the lack of a tuner and timer, I like minimalist designs in most things. I would like one that records though.
