196?: Craig 6402 pre-EIAJ VTR
        This helical scan video tape recorder features a full field, slant track, two head frequency modulated recording system, an all electronic rotary transformer head assembly, and can operate with 1/2" tape at 9-1/2 IPs for maximum 50 or 60 minute recording or playback time on either 7" or 8-1/4" reels. The audio re-record capability makes it  possible to re-record the sound track without disturbing the video portion. The unit also has automatic audio and video level controls, a  built in 2:1 sync generator, plus slow motion and stop motion capabilities. The recorder measures 18-1/2" wide x 10-1/4" high x 17-1/2" deep and weighs 59 pounds.
        8-1/4" reels? That explains why the deck is so large! Notice that there is plenty of room around my 7" reels in the photos. 
        Craig brand VTRs were actually manufactured by JVC. 
WANTED: Service and or operators' manuals for this machine.
