Panasonic PV-V4525S 4-Head VCR, Silver
Just The Basics
I concur with R. Cheney: the transport mechanism is rather basic.  Fast Forward or Reverse don't stop on a dime.  And you have only one choice for slow motion that I could find.  Nor does there seem to be any tracking adjustment for slow speed or paused images, which yields snow and noise.  So not near as user friendly and robust as older machines in my collection, but it does the basic job of playing a video.  At normal speed the playback quality is fine.  Just don't expect anything fancy like machines of, oh, 5 years ago.
