Bought a brand new 1993 Hitachi VCR today.

Here it is out of the box and working, playing some horrible Pia Zadora movie (redundant statement).

For all it's NIB coolness it's still a pretty basic VCR, I would have preferred the other one, more features, a bit older but it was used and more expensive.

It has one feature called Quasi S-VHS, it'll play S-VHS tapes but only at standard definition. It also has 5 heads and an Edit feature.

that's a beautiful find. re: Quasi-SVHS, does it include a Y/C SVideo output jack? My aunt and uncle had a Sharp Quasi SVHS at one time which did.. Seems kind of overkill, since the tapes would be played back at VHS resolution.
