It is an oldie. Note the antenna connection are not Type-F coax but knurled knobs for twin lead with separate VHF and UHF (i.e., before cable was a standard), and the 12 station select buttons that can be manually set to band and channel). AG = industrial line, potentially more rugged that consume - if nothing else, a grounded electrical cord. It is VHS only, not S-VHS, and mono audio.
I've seen service manuals offered on-line for around $10 or so, and some places listed it for time lapse (perhaps security camera recording). In any case probably not worth paying good money for it as a transfer deck, and who knows it condition. But if free - and your tapes are all mono - give it a try on a tape you are willing to sacrifice - but don't expect much. (You could always start a musieum <g>.)
