I'm with Ed on the 830, i personally find that chassis of JVC quite reliable and very easy to work on. Actually they got easier to work on than the 830 in the later models, same mechanism, just mounted in the middle without a heap of circuitry on top of the mechanism to remove first.
My first VCR was a HRJ200, which uses this mechanism, it has been given a [B]lot[B] of use and has only given trouble once. Despite being a mono machine it is very very easy to program quickly for timeshifting, hence the lot of use.
