Mitsubishi MD3000 Professional Video Cassette Recorder (Medical Grade, S VHS) 2002-2016 - Off-White/Cream

ATTN: this is PAL format—the European standard format for VHS. Regardles, it is an ideal archiving machine and virtually brand new = not used with no hours.
Manufactured for the medical industry, this truly-professional grade Hi-Fi S VHS Video Cassette Recorder is a mint-quality steal for any multipurpose recording studio where audio-video work (production, archival, etc.) is done. Most small regional recording studios I know have opportunities for some lucrative work during down times to restore and archive both audio and video sources. This unit would be the only VHS player/recorder anyone would need is such an environment.

Please view the attached video (below) to see why this unit is far beyond any consumer VHS recorder or player on the market. Quoting from the maker of this video, the MD3000 "has all the features of a high end consumer-grade VCR like Super-VHS capability with Expansion Technology, Hi-Fi audio, jog dial for accurate playback and editing, flying erase head, digital Y/C separation, digital noise reduction. It also has an RS-232 connector and a USB port. For someone who wants to convert analog videos into digital form, the most prized feature of this machine is a built-in time base corrector (TBC), allowing to dub or digitize a tape with the highest quality. The TBC has a full frame memory, which allows it not only to straighten the frame, but to ensure there is no picture roll and to minimize the number of dropped frames."

I acquired this unit virtually unused when my wife's employer upgraded equipment where she works. As such, this unit is a trustworthy super-bargain if you're in the market for something like this. You won't find a cleaner one without it being new.
