NEVER USED, IN ORIGINAL BOX - Sony Super Betamax SL-340 Beta VCR - Needs Repair

Description

NEW IN BOX - Sony Super Betamax SL-340 Beta VCR.  New in box, never used.  Estate sale find.  Box was already opened when I purchased it.  Only removed from packaging to take pictures and test.  Manual and remote control (and possibly dead AA batteries) still factory sealed.
Cosmetically it is mint.  The VFT display is very bright.  Unfortunately, the loading mechanism needs service.  It will not fully load a tape or eject a tape.  I had to take the cover off to get my tape out.  With the cover off I can manually help the loading mechanism to load and eject the tape.  Once tape is helped into place it will play the tape.
This box will be taped shut and placed in a larger box with additional packaging for shipping.
Additional handling added to shipping costs to cover packaging, signature delivery and insurance.
Sold as-is for parts/repair due to the faulty loading mechanism.
Includes only what is shown in the pictures.
