Have had a lot of requests to re-build people's AG-1980's or if they could purchase them from me over the last 6 months. It is getting harder to do these machines. My eyes are not as good as they used to be. Plus you need to have good hands cause you are dealing with small parts. It is easy to mess up and burn a hole in the board. It is easy to mess up all the other electronics when you start messing with the internal workings of the machine. In other words it is pretty easy to permanently wreck one of these units.
Sadly over time all these units go bad. I don't have to write out all the problems. They just didn't last cause the capacitors and resistors. Sadly you have no easy fix the units need to be rebuilt.
What I have done is fully rebuilt a few of these units. That is the boards, the video card and the power supply. All the loading gears, video heads and all the other mechanics are also perfect.
What you are getting here is a really good VCR, that is going to run for a really long time. Used really good capacitors on these decks and replaced every single one of them. Than as stated rebuilt the video card.
You will not find a better quality VCR on the market.
Do to time, labor and everything else, can't do custom repairs anymore. I actually had to send a guy back his VCR's cause he was complaining after 5 months I couldn't complete his work. This batch took me 6 or 7 months to put together.
The costs have more than doubled and it takes longer to repair them.
If you are in to VHS to digital or you want the best VCR for VHS that money can buy this is for you. If the price is too high and you think you can get the same machine for cheaper than have at it. It is just that I can't repair them for you.
