A broken Hitachi VT-1370A VCR

Here's a vintage Hitachi VHS VCR from the 1980's with the famous six belt mechanism. I've had 2 of them before, one was a RCA from the recycling center 4 years ago. It worked the first time I tested it, but a moment after I opened it, it developed an electronic problem making it no longer worked except for the VFD display. In April 2018 I found a Hitachi stereo VCR at the thrift store with the same mechanism, so I decided to give it a try, and it ended up doing the same exact issue as the RCA. Now I just found another Hitachi with this mechanism at Value Village, so I took one last chance buying this mechanism and find out if it would have the same trouble. This VCR is very similar to the broken one I had last year, but it's a lower end 3 head mono unit.

Si tu pogne un VT-2000A fonctionnel (dans la meme lignée que le 1370) fais moi signe !
ça été notre premier magnétoscope (en 1989) et ça m'rappelerais des souvenir d'en trouver un !

I've translated your comment and I'll let you know if I see or buy one too. Also, next month I'll be visiting Quebec City and will visit Mr. Magnétoscope. Stay tuned to my channel for another collab.

Ça va être dûr d'en trouver un en état fonctionnel. En plus des courroies qui sont toujours pu bonnes, ça m'en fait 3 sur 3 qui ont eu un trouble électronique.

Do you want my RCA? It works perfectly.

[@mrmagnetoscope]

Well if you really want to give it to me, I'll take it.

[@TheVCRKing]

I will if you really want it.
