Good verses bad VCRs ?

I've heard that VCR's are now being made even cheaper and shoddier than they
were a few years ago because they're 'on the way out'. I've got a Panasonic
DVD/hard disc recorder which is excellent so I haven't bought a VCR for
about 5 years. My last VCR was a Sony which is still a great machine. I'm
going to buy a new VCR for a friend and I just wonder if any of you know a
particularly good brand/model, or particularly BAD model to avoid. I fixed
one of those no-name VCRs a few weeks ago and it was so flimsy I almost
admired how far the technology has come since they first came out and
weighed about 8 kilos - this piece of puff pastry was about 800 grams.

Thanks,
Dean.

Just the usual utterly mindless pig ignorant bullshit.

VCR's are as bad as they can get - even worse than the goldstar days.

Just ensure that you get yourself a hi-fi unit, cause for $40 more they come
with a stereo tuner and the sound from hi-fi video tapes (all pre-recorded)
is so close to DVD.

any nec / panasonic / lg (most of them are identicle in operation / display
that i think there all made by the same company.

no one in their right mind would use a video deck to record sound as it
is full of switching noise

** That is absolute garbage.

VHS hi-fi has excellent sound quality - superior to any cassette or R/R
deck.

Mainlander is a fact free zone.

And if I complied with your schoolboy-like request, I am afraid I would only

You may be right, but then why the feck does my hi-fi VCR have a long
play four channel sound recorder function?
