The HR-D470 has a separate reel drive motor but it still uses an idler tire. There's no consumer JVC with direct drive take-up and supply "pancake motors" like the PV-1730 or SL-2700. Some Grundig European-market VHS VCRs from the mid 80s have a similar setup to the PV-1730, but those utilize the U-loading system like Betamax.
