I have a early mechanical tuner Zenith Beta model jr-9000w.
It has some electronic bugs that I need to fix, but appears to be very well built(the mechanics remind me of some reel to reel audio machines I've worked on).
I also have two EAIJ video decks which are esentially profesional consumer units(which would have been their market seeing as they predate Beta).

I don't keep any pre 90s VHS(with the exception of two top loaders) because they often lack features that I must have on the units I use for time shifting/archiving, such as HiFi stereo, and S-VHS/S-VHS-ET recording.

Though all my beta equipment is pre 1990.
