According to two people I highly trust, yes. (One of them is a member on this forum: username "markatisu")
And I've seen some of Mark's before/after work. Definitely a TBC in there. We used to trade sample discs.

Neither. Get a Panasonic AG-1980 for VHS-C.
For the S-VHS, the ideal VCR would be the aforementioned JVC series decks.

How much money do you have?
