VHS machine in action: load, play, fast forward, rewind, play, seek forward and backward, stop, eject.

I admire the engineering that makes all the parts work so good together. For example, tape loading is done with one motor that is attached to a gear that can be seen in the top right corner. Thanks to different sensors and the rotary encoder that is connected to the gear, the VHS machine can also check if it is in a valid state or not and by that prevent tape damage.
