Customer swapped out the internals with their own and returned this. Has a broken belt and something misaligned, bent or broken that allows the VCR tape to go into position in order to play. Aside from that I suspect it might work if those two issues are fixed. If I remember right the belt was to feed the DVD tray in and out. Could have been the belt that spins the DVD instead though not sure. There is one dent on the case as well but not bad. Too many projects to mess with it further.
