Parting out a '98ish Philips/Magnavox VCR

Hey guy's. We got this VCR new and a good number of year's back the mechanisom for pushing the tape out, wore out. I then used it, with the top unscrewed, and just pushed the tapes out by hand. Well eventually the player itself wore out, so I replaced it with the vintage Zenith I have now.
I've finally decided to part it out. I wanted the A/V imput/output connectors from it and the cord. What else should I pull out that may be of use later? Cap's, resistors, transistors, motors, miniture push buttons, ect?
Does anyone want anything from it? Has a good remote, good pcb. Case is in nice shape...
Model VRZ263AT21

I believe it was made by Funai, but unfortunately, these Funai-made VCRs rate low in excitement and collectability.

I don't really consider it or any other late 90's-00's vcr to be collectable. This one is pretty decked out for what it is. I think it's even a "super vhs" or whatever, that some here have gone on about. It's just wore out and I have no clue where I would even get parts for it, so I just want to rip some useful stuff out and scrap it.

Anything else that's worthwile to take off of this thing y'all? Does anyone want anything? Next time we hear about a recycling program, most of its going in.

Funai is in the same boat as audios Soundesign,Yorx ETC of low end gear.

I had a list of Funai re badge VCRs and TV somewhere on my computer .
