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.

Hi Ed, will it put out RF at a level high enough to broadcast around the house or is it low level like any other VCR?
It has an odd output connector, like the connector on an older car radio except with the male end inside the socket.
I know I have some PAL tapes here somewhere, I'll have to find one and see if it'll play on an NTSC set.
