I had the exact machine, VBT-200. I gave it to my neighbor. What do you suppose they are worth? I seem to remember the bearings in the head motor started howling. I disassembled it, cleaned & lightly oiled the bearings & it worked fine again. You could set the timer to start only, then would continue until the end of the tape. Don't forget to press the mechanical play + rec buttons first though. 2 speed only. The only picture issues that I recall is when the record timer was used. The unit would start recording before the heavy head was up to speed, LOL.
