Condition report:
The videotapes are contained within their original plastic or cardboard library cases, which show typical signs of shelf wear and age-related scuffing consistent with domestic use. Vendor notes specify that some tapes remain in their original unopened packaging. The AIWA VHS recorder is described by the vendor as being in perfect working order and having undergone a head cleaning and service. However, in accordance with standard auction practice, all electrical items are sold as seen and their continued working order is not guaranteed.
