I have a Panasonic PV-4022 mono VHS VCR. Still works like new after 11 years, although I don't use it for recording anymore, just for playing the old VHS tapes in my collection. The automatic clock set function does not work any longer since the DTV transition. This feature used a special XDS (extended data signal) to set the clock; the signal was transmitted (in the vertical blanking interval, if I remember correctly) by PBS television stations, but when DTV came along that signal disappeared. Oh well, since I don't use the deck anymore for recording that doesn't matter.

One thing about some of these old VCR's. They may be built like tank and be reliable, but the power consumption is something else! Not exactly economical.

Perhaps, but I doubt that they consume as much power over DVD players as flat-screens do over CRT sets.

I think the best looking VCRs, are the high end top loaders from the late 1970s. The solid build quality, the positive feel of the piano key buttons, brushed metal finishes. They look more like high end stereo equipment of the era, than the later plastic built to a price machines.
I also like the looks of the two piece units, where the tuner and VCR are separate, with the idea that the VCR portion can be used as a portable. I used to have an AKAI from about 1977, which I had tons of fun with. It's long gone now, I wish I still had it. |
