Glad I don't have any early Mitsubishi VCRs. I just cannot recommend early Mitsubishi VCRs for the super long run.

Replacing the upper cylinder requires a little star screwdriver to remove the shaft in the video head drum. Sometimes, soldering is required to remove a circuit board on top of the upper cylinder. Not sure about Mitsubishi, but early Panasonic VCRs made before 1982 have the easiest video head to change, in my opinion.
