This one was made by Funai, and I am indeed surprised that it's still running. My parents also bought a Philips Magnavox Hi-Fi Stereo VCR in 1998, and it conked out only in 1 year. The problem was it played a tape, and then it turned off in only 15 seconds. This was caused by a bad LED sensor. Extremely common problem. I'm sure many technicians here did repair many of these plastic-boxes.
