The G815 looks like a very good later model and I’m a bit excited to say I’ve just bought one and waiting for it to arrive! Hoping to find a good guide to servicing/basic maintenance on this site. Thanks for sharing your experience

Yes the VS-A77 had quite an impressive feature-count for its day. I got one second-hand in around 1999/ 2000 though unfortunately I didn't keep it long as the Hi-Fi heads were quite worn causing drop-outs. Whoever had it before must've got their money's worth!

Enjoy your G815. I hope it brings you years of trouble-free operation..but if not, we'll try our best to help!
