Looks to be a Japanese domestic unit with the Japanese writing and "100V" voltage rating on the back panel. It will put out RF on probably 30 - 36 UHF. That's what the screw in the back next to the "Channel" does. The Test switch makes a video test signal, lets you tune it in on the TV. Haven't seen one of those Sharps, but I sure saw a bunch of the Samsung SV-5000s with power supply problems, electrolytics in SMPS a common failure, and more than a few with an eeprom chip that failed. Few mechanical problems. The Samsung converts one format to another, PAL tape to NTSC output for example. Aiwa made a couple of multi-standard decks I saw a lot of too, the HV-MX1 and later the HV-MX100 both convert formats like the Samsung.
