Okay so as I promised here's a short clip of the Magnavox in action with playback from my U-Matic of a tape from 1985. Contrast is a little crummy from the ambient lighting but I wanted to do all of this as in the moment at the moment. Anyone know how to repair or restore the woodgrain on that left side slider?
see for yourself.
