The Sanyo VHR-2250 was a 1987 model and used a MBK-58 chassis as shown on Studio Sound Electronics

I have two Sanyo units using this chassis. Was this more reliable than Fisher that I originally guessed? Consumer Reports even rated Sanyo the most reliable VHS VCR brand with a linear power supply inside, after Panasonic, according to charts. Fisher, despite being made by Sanyo, was rated the least reliable.
