In that time the Fishers were failing left and right for the slipping loading belts and to a lesser extent slipping reel drive idlers. Not too many electronic falilures but some. Oddly at that time Sanyo and Fisher had different lines of VCRs with totally different mechanisms and designs. Might have even been a year or more of overlap when Sanyo was still Beta and Fisher was VHS. Lots of Fisher VCRs were sold through places like Rent A Center included with complete Fisher AV systems. Hitachis were also plagued with loading belt and reel drive problems as well as the DC-DC converters and end sensor phototransistors that failed like crazy for a few years.
