Canon VR-40 VHS HIFI portable with VT-50 tuner/timer dock (clone of Panasonic PV-9600)
JVC HR-6700U VHS
The HR-6700U was acquired from the original owner with original box (with styrofoam), remote (with blue plastic still on it), instruction manual, both quick reference cards, and a service manual ! This vcr was on my wish list for quite a while and to have a complete one like this is just awesome. Of course it’s full of bad belts, and the drum seems stiff to turn, I hope it can be freed up somehow. Cosmetically, it is in excellent shape, and very clean. I’m going to restore this one best I can.
This was JVC’s first EP capable VHS vcr (would play LP tapes), and the last of their “first generation”, mechanical “piano key” VHS machines. It was JVC’s top of the line VHS vcr from late 1979 to about 1981. It cost around $1300 Cdn. back then.
For VHS movies:
Escape from New York
Bladerunner Directors Cut
Star Wars box set of A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi
A Christmas Carol (The good one with Alistair Sim)
The Who 1982 North American tour (recorded in Toronto)
Five blank TDK T120s new old stock

Regarding the blank VHS tapes: I was looking through my blanks to discover that I have a number of them on hand. I bought a number of them at thrifts, when they still handled them.
I'm using them to record the court proceedings going on in Wisconsin.
