Akai VT-110

Funny, JUST as I was coming in here to post this, the director commentary I'm listening to said he used one of these as a kid!

Anyhow, just got one with the camera, waiting for it to arrive! Looks good cosmetically but I think the power supply is missing. You guys got any tips on how to check this thing out and power it up after so long?

It does come with (I think) a proper video tape, but I really want to record some results of different audio tapes. How long can I do that before you would be cringing? Probably right away! Damn shame! Is there a way to slice VHS stock in half and use that? This is of course assuming I can get the thing to work in the first place.
