Hello,
I'm currently searching for a W-VHS deck (working or for parts) as well as tapes. I've seen the Victor HR-W5 and its OEM counterpart, the Panasonic NV-WV10, pop up semi-frequently on Japanese auction sites. While I'm interested in these, I would more desire to get my hands on a Victor HR-W1, Panasonic NV-W1, Hitachi VT-W1 (basically the larger Japanese decks), or one of JVC's US offerings (the SR-W5U, SR-W7U, and SR-W320U).
In addition, I am also interested in the Victor HR-20000, an S-VHS deck with (to my understanding) similar internals as some of the sets listed above.
Much appreciated!
