We've had one of this Philips VHS reader, very close to the model shown on the photo !
The Sony is a French model, I see Canal + and Nicam on it ?

Yes, the Sony seems to be a high end model and in order to test it I managed to find a SCART cable with video and audio out, but although I get a signal, it's only pulling half the tape to the head - the left hand reel lever won't move.
The other two may be beyond repair :mad:

It may just need a really good clean and relube on the moving parts specially if it has been sitting round for a while

Getting a new Wheel. Moza FSR2. It mimics the BMW Hypercar and the Caddy I think. I don't care though. This was half what some other Companies charge for Wheels. I bought it from a site that has Free shipping but the manufacturer wanted $70 for shipping from the EU. Yep that is a touchscreen display.
