The G chassis is the only one I've seen that uses only 2 motors, the video head motor and the capstan motor, which basically operates the whole deck through a complex system of gears and a solenoid.

I prefer VCR's with at least 3 or more motors simply because they are much faster to respond!

The PV-1730 is at the other end of the scale, has 6 motors and is the fastest responding VCR I've ever seen! Mine works but is pretty beat up and needs new heads, but hey I got it for $2!
