Hi all,
I'm selling a Panasonic AG-1980P unit that needs repair.
History of the unit: I am only the second owner of this unit, and it has never undergone any repairs. The owner before me (the original owner) did not use it to transfer tapes, only to play them, and it had been collecting dust in his attic for quite some time.
I am not an expert, so I could not tell you exactly what repairs are needed, but please see the attached video for more context! Perhaps lordsmurf or any of the other knowledgeable people in this forum can offer some guesses as to what it might need. The unit powers on and accepts/ejects tapes, but it does not play them. It seems to get stuck after I press play. (Again, see the video where I demonstrate this.) It probably needs other maintenance.
Because it's a broken unit and I assume you will need to pay for repair (or perform the labor yourself), I've reflected this in the cost.
Unit comes with power cord.
Price: $250, plus shipping (
open to negotiation, as long as it's fair!). I can ship using your preferred carrier (USPS, UPS, Fedex). Shipping costs would probably range anywhere from $25-$50? (though do not quote me on that just yet, LOL. Once I know your zip code and preferred carrier, I will know for sure

)
Willing to ship anywhere, though shipping costs may be affected. Shipping from the continental US.
This community has helped me so much (I've been a lurker for years! thank you!), so I'd rather sell here than on eBay or elsewhere.
Comes from a smoke-free home.
Let me know if you have any questions or would like any other information!
