Dragged home a Hitachi VT-33A

[Kiwick]

I have a VT35, the mechanism is the same but with digital channel display and a slighly different front panel design with even larger mech function buttons

Mine came from a dumpster, it just needed a new belt, it worked for a few years then the controls got sluggish (it often rewinded when i pushed FF or vice versa) then the whole control panel died.

Sooner or later i'm going to try to fix it, maybe i have a dirty function switch in the mech.
