Well... I had a specific need for six VCRs... the criteria: Must be
Stereo, Must be same model, Must be disposable.... that last one is why I
bought the on sale, $59.95 models.
For my PERSONAL use... I haven't bought a VCR in ages... I am still using
my old $2000 Sony editing deck (bought from a building landlord's
clearance when the tenant was arrested by the FBI and jailed for printing
his own bank checks... I paid $15 or there abouts). My 2nd VCR is a VERY
old GE VCR... and my 3rd is a recent hitachi salvage from work. All 3 are
older VCRs, that have parts readily available, and I do regular cleanings
and maintenance on them (not crappy cleaning tapes... open them up and
clean them out).
I won't buy a VCR for personal use that I can't readily get repair parts
for. And I REFUSE to buy any made by Funai... since they won't sell parts
except to authorized Funai repair centers... which means I have 5 VCR/TV
combos with useless VCRs because of bad $5 clutches... which the repair
centers want $100 to replace, and won't sell me the *#&#*%# part!
