In Reply to: Need to replace the old Zenith VCR; whats new? posted by DWPC on June 26, 2002 at 13:01:08:
I think consumer VCRs are largely a disposible item, nowadays. Even the JVC SVHS models are build rather cheaply, IMO. Sony makes a model like "V51" or "v52" for about a $100/street that has 60 second rewind. That is kind of nice. Also the tuner isn't too bad.I think JVC, Marantz, and Mitsubishi make some nicer models in the $500+ category. But that's kind of expensive for the VCR, IMHO.
The days of the vcr are numbered. DVD has pushed them to the budget end of the market. They can be bought for $80 Canadian (or about $40 US). Even JVC Super VHS can be bought for a couple of hundred. Basically I would try and find the most expensive machine you can & assume that will only last a few years. The very cheap ones will likely give only a couple of years of service.
