Will start with the bad. Does not include remote, which means after I sell it I will find the remote, isn't that the way it always works? ( And If I actually do, I will send it for free ) I dont know what happened to the door where you insert the tapes. And the some of the buttons are tarnished???? See pics. Now the good. It works! Took me awhile to actually FIND a VHS to test it with. And then I had to buy the converter set to test it out, which I will toss in as well. Bought this when my children were young so that I could play German VHS tapes for them to learn the language. That plan worked out well, until they went to school, and only had English. But I tried! Pretty heavy, will be over 10 pounds, so shipping will be a lot, BUT, its included.
