Philips VR2220 portable V2000 format video recorder and VR2120 tuner/timer. Part 1.

I've been sent a VR2220 and VR2120 portable V2000 video recorder pair from Sweden. But they got very smashed up in the post. Can I do anything with it? It's technically possible to use a VR2220 video recorder without the VR2120 tuner/timer, but it would make it harder to set up and use.
