In Reply to: VCR's: Repair or just toss out and replace? posted by Samir on April 02, 2001 at 02:09:23:

The days of fixing expensive (read:$600 and up) VCR's are over. Buy the cheap one and toss it as soon as it screws up. The cheap ones do well enough and no-one uses VCRs to keep archival copies anymore anyway. I tossed my VHS tape collection because: I no longer wanted all those stupid movies I 'thought' I wanted... and kept for 6 to 8 years and never looked at!!!! and because the $600 VCR I have is partially dead... and why repair old tech... I use it just to get the cable digital music channels to my 2-channel sys so my pet bird has something to listen to when I'm at work.
