A Craig VHS VCR find

I just found a Craig pt720 VCR. The OEM of the VCR was samsung. The VCR came in its original box and looks not to be used much. I have no idea if the VCR works, I will get around to testing it soon. I expect it doesn't work but I can probably get it working again if the VCR needs fixing.

That's a pretty rare model, I've never seen it before.

I'll be interested what you find.

I worked on a LOT of VCRs in the nineties and the only two Craigs I ever ran across were a model PX7461 and a model PV7264, both made by Shintom.

Keep us posted!

The giant button symbols make it look like one of those "grandma watches TV without her glasses" remotes Walgreens used to sell.

Unless the belts are bad, it's a fairly trouble-free version made by Samsung at that time. Much, much better than Goldstar.

The belts, the idler tire, and the pinch roller are bad. I don't know how to get to the loading motor belt off without doing major dissembling of the VCR. So I'm stuk at the moment if can't figure it out I will put the VCR back together and sell it to someone else to try and fix.
