On the older Toshibas, the most common problem was a failed loading motor. If it did fail, you would hear a big crunchy noise or no movement at all due to broken bearings inside the motor.

But despite that, Consumer Reports rated Toshiba as the second most-reliable VCR brand after Panasonic. Toshiba was considered a "Honda" like brand back in 1980s with Panasonic closer to "Toyota".
