If you are interested in getting a quality machine, unfortunately, the best options are probably in the used market. On ebay, there are plenty of super VHS machines for not a whole lot of $$$. I just picked up a vcr that was $800 new for $71 shipped. If new, I would agree that the JVC 7800 previously recommended is pretty decent. It's available at Crutchfield on the scratch and dent section for under $200.

My best advice -- stay away from the latest models and try getting an older model, preferably Super VHS.
