I had one - lent it to someone with the same model that had quit - then mine quit too. Not worth repairing unfortunately - control panel dead. (I did transfer all my tapes to DVDs before that happened). But I'm not eager to get an old one because of the demonstrated poor reliability (bad caps?).
The security cam is a reasonable idea for a dedicated unit, but I was wondering if there are any standard def digital camcorders that also have NTSC out - could do double duty, since I don't have a working camcorder except for my cell phone :>)
And I do have a modulator - use it with the el cheapo DVD player that feeds the set now.
Will look into the security camera thing first, I guess.
