I took a Magnavox training course on these TV-VCR's when they were the latest thing. The instructor was not happy with them, either, as the demo set had some issues that caused the set to simply shut down before the day was over. The next day, we had a different demo set to work with.
Seems that if a timing gear was even one-tooth out of time, the things would simply shut down. The instructor told us that Magnavox was finding that people liked to slam their tapes into the machine, instead of letting the machine pull the tape out of their hand.
Alas... I remember when metal was used on a tape transport system...
