VCRs that will last forever

Just picked up this Panasomic Omnivision VHS model PV-1200 VCR today at the Salvation Army. It reminded me of one of the ones they wheeled around on a cart with a TV when I was in high school, so I grabbed it for a whole $6.00. To my surprise, the damn thing works flawlessly! . Now, I just have to clean it up and it will see service with a TV as of yet to be determined.

Anyone have any ideas as to its vintage or know anything about them?

Of the 80s stuff, my experience is that the cheap GoldStar ones were the most reliable. Clean the idler tire once a year and she's good to go!
