My latest VHS Player Find

Oh, yeah, that's newer than the lube problem era. Now you're into what I call the "Top 4" era: Power supply caps, mode switch, loose P2 and P3 tape guides and the tantelum cap on the back side of the capstan motor. Once those are addressed that machine is one to be reckoned with!
Specifically, cleaning and the proper alignment of P2 and P3 may help your switching problem.

What's the FCC ID number on the rear panel?

the post before your post was the FCC ID off this VCR, I looked up the ID and it was indeed JVC/Kenwood that made this VCR which means that JVC themselves made this VCR and not some other company for JVC.

I don't think JVC ever had another company make their VCRs.

I'll be surprised that Kenwood made their VCRs.I have a Kenwood somewhere here.I might be wrong but I think it was Matsushita"Panasonic" and JVC was the original makers then Sony got into it and later after the loss of Betamax. Funai made the cheap ones in later years.

Well like I said JVC seems to of made their own VCRs including mine, and I think Panasonic and Quasar also was made by their own compay (Matsushita), So yeah it seems that only the Japanese companies made their own units whereas by the time VHS came around all of the American companies had Japanese companies building their units for them like Zenith Using JVC and then Later on Goldstar for their later units (which Goldstar was actually Korean), so yeah, its kind of funny how that works.

Yeah, I think so too, I'm pretty sure most of the Japanese companies made their own stuff (unlike our American Companies who couldn't make their own stuff anymore by the time VHS came around), because I know Hitachi, JVC (which interestingly enough JVC was actually the Japanese subsidy of RCA originally but then RCA dropped them after a while), Panasonic, Quasar, and Sony (at one time) made all of their own stuff in house, and most of the companies listed (except Sony) still do.
