Turns on and works. Plays AUDIO ONLY with a VHS, has a snowy picture. Probably needs a video head clean or replacement. Does come with a Remote control but i haven't gotten it to connect to the TV. I have tried looking at the IR front light on the remote and it does flash when looking through a camera lens so maybe needs a clean also or im doing something wrong? Was going to throw it but i thought i may as well include in the bundle as someone would have to fix video play back anyway. PLEASE do see video i attached to get proper example of VCR condition, everything else is functional. Please see photos etc and DM With any questions, cheers!
