In Reply to: VCR. New or Older? Help! posted by strieb on December 19, 2004 at 21:58:44:
Built like a tank (30 lbs) and has superb HiFi Stereo. Mid-80s vintage. If you find a a serviceable one, grab it. I have one sitting in the garage with a busted RF converter board (kids broke it off!) that I should get rid of, but I keep hoping I'll find a replacement part. The downside is bad parts availability. Among the last of the "lifetime" units; new vcrs are throwaways after a couple hundred hours.

Thanks DWPC. I have come across a stirring recommendation for Zenith VCR's in other places. (Perhaps it was even from you.) So I have been looking, and I will be looking for one as I make my customary rounds in the future.You may have read my post in regards to my purchase of a Mitsubishi S-62. It produces a VERY nice picure on my little Trinitron which rivals DVD on my 17' eMac. The sound is excellent, although the signal to noise ratio is not first rate. There is a 60 cycle hum coming from somewhere, but as long as audio is actually happening, I don't notice it. I still enjoy analog tracks from the Mistu as compared to the DVD soundtracks in my eMac, or the budget DVD Toshiba DVD unit that feeds my Sansui alpha-707Extra integrated amp. Great for $50, a recent lube and check and a three month warrenty. Who needs the shark infested waters of Ebay?! Cheers — Lorne
