Condition
Good vintage cosmetic condition overall with general age and use wear, including some marks, scuffs and discolouration.
The NV-B11 AC adaptor is working and powers the NV-100 on. The cassette eject mechanism works. Other transport functions did not operate during testing; however, no VHS cassette was available to test the machine, so it is not known whether a cassette needs to be inserted before these functions will operate.
No further testing has been carried out. Recording and playback have not been tested. No battery is included. Sold as partially tested vintage equipment.
The original protective/carrying cover is in good condition for its age.
