Agreed - we used to be happy to see a Matsui like this - a drawer full of STR 50103s and R2Ms was what you needed.
Ditto the Orion made videos needing a 2SB for the 820 series or a belt kit and limiter post for the later ones. The final ones tended to need reel tables that incorporated the clutches which sprung apart, but no real bother. Who would prefer to do a G-deck or Charlie in a busy workshop?
