Re: Buy new VCR or repair old one?

You know, for a HI-FI VCR being so cheap now, it's almost expendable, use them up and throw them away. You will get better than a few years use, more like 5. We have 40 dubbing machines here,(cheap vcr's) they are still working 8HRs a day, and one occasionally needs a sensor lite or something small. The only thing about getting around 10 years old, is not just belts and idlers, it's caps and electronic parts. Things can tend to get a little sloppy. They are built better, but are they really worth the cost of repair and trouble shooting? Fine, if you can fix-em yourself, but bench time?
