Being sold as-is, for parts or repair simply because I dont have access to a 8mm tape to verify it works still. Minor cosmetic imperfection the the right side of the case. There is a cosmetic scratch on the top of the unit and the face plate can be partially removed on the right edge. The faceplate does not fall off, it has to be pulled off. This does not affect functionality. See pictures for more details. It happened when removing from a rack setup and there where other VCR's on top.
