I just purchased a JVC HR-S4700U off of eBay that, as it turns out, appears to have a damaged head although everything else appears to be in working order. The unit itself is in excellent shape other than the head. I paid a total of $35.00 for the unit and owners manusl and would be happy to sell it for that amount. Let me know if you are interested.
