This VHS has been tested before listing to make sure it works correctly and was played the entire way though to verify. I will do the same test again before shipping out if ordered to make sure it has not degraded. The box has damage as shown in the photos and the VHs itself has a sticker on the face but thankfully not on the label. I got the VHS about 5 years ago and have kept it in a room away from heat and sunlight and moisture.
