I found a Sony FXE-100 for $400, which appears to have most of the cool features like fades, wipes, chroma and luma keying and God only knows what else. It's also an editing controller for 2 players and one recorder and has time code readouts for all 3 machines. I had checked into several models, but most were designed for higher-end work and not VHS compatible. This Sony only has 4-input busses A and B, but if I need to expand later, I also have an Extron 8 channel "punch button" type switcher to throw into the mix.
I'll probably end up paying $100 for the user manual from The Broadcast Store, but it's still a great deal for what was originally a $10,000+ switcher. Can't wait to go pick it up in the next week or two!
