I would grab it if its price is low, at least. I have that same model as in your picture (VBT-200), RCA's first consumer VCR. They need something like seven belts at a cost of $50-60 perhaps, but I am going to do the work on mine before too long. I got two Sony VCRs from that same time period working recently by doing little more than replacing belts and idler tires and lubrication, so these early Matsushita-built machines may be just as durable.
