Agreed on keeping both, the Sony is pretty cool. Can you ever get the picture to be sharper and look similar to the Panasonic?

Our Sony was purchased new in 1990 and had MANY hours of Thomas the Tank Engine run through it by yours truly. I even learned to use the Shuttle knob to slow-mo through the crash scenes...over and over again. It currently has to be manually tracked to lock onto HiFi from recorded tapes so I'm using it to teach myself to adjust and troubleshoot VCRs. So far I'm in the "still learning" phase.

Not sure if I have much advice since I've not finished servicing mine, but I recommend you watch 12voltvids on Youtube. Search his channel for "Sony vcr"; he has a dozen videos or so servicing machines just like ours. Sony used the same chassis for ages.
