The only issue I had serious trouble with was dried out pinch rollers and
rubber belts. The capstan pinch roller is not a standard part, but the belts
are pretty easy to locate replacements for. This unit was also sold under
the General Electric brand (for $100 less) in the U.S. The skip field
recordings were pretty crummy, but any form of home video recording was
exciting in 1967. You might find this description useful:
