Since my father had recorded on that machine from 1987 to about 1994, I thought that it might be worth getting repaired since that machine would track the tapes recorded on it from '87 to '94 the best.

it is very similar to, and the direct forerunner of the HR-S8000U; i think you should get the 7000U serviced, and get yourself an 8000U as well. you will then have BOTH of JVCs first two format-introducing flagship S-VHS VCRs, as well as two of the very best VCRs of all time, in terms of build quality and overall cosmetics.
they are fantastic performers, too. perhaps not as good for archival use as the DNR and TBC laden 1990's models recommended at the top of this thread, but nonetheless smashingly good VCRs in their own right, and highly recommended for average use, with looks to die for and build quality second to none...
