Power supply was the problem with the Hitachi decks, three pass regulators on one bent aluminum heat sink wrapped around the board and they ran hot even in standby. Ours was the VT-??? HiFi from early 1985 that looked similar to the VT-33 and it survived 20+years of rental tapes and 3 teenagers fighting over the remote. They're well built otherwise and have a good reputation for tracking really bad tapes.
