WANTED: HiFi VCR 6+Heads (SVHS)

I am desperately seeking an HQ VCR to back up and digitise boxes of home movies. It needs to be stereo and have S-Video output.
Ideally it would be an SVHS player, but as these are rare as hens teeth, I'm not expecting too much.
My 12-Head SVHS Mitsubishi E70 just died, and looks like it's going to be too difficult to repair/source parts, plus 2 of the heads are damaged.

...unless of course there is someone out there that would be willing to try repairing my unit.

I would like a late model, top of the line VCR and am willing to pay good money for the right unit.

Many thanks.

For a repair I'd recommend contacting Dave at PC Anytime: https://www.pcanytime.co.nz/assets/contact/contact.htm

I have a panasonic nv-hd675 lying around, its without the remote but is a 6 head unit. Don't think it has s-video input though.
