What was your LAST VHS purchase??

Yes. The Gamexchange here has a polishing machine here. When I worked at a game store, we had one. Actually went through two of them. Cost was up in the 4 digit range. Quality hasn't been much of a concern lately. For example, my mother in law and my sister in law both have wen through countless cheap microwave oven from WalMart. They might last a year or two. I have one from 1978 and two vintage Amana Radaranges from around that time. Bothe are chromed out with stainless steel interior. Only thing they needed were new bulbs. These are over 30 years old and still going. I bought all 3 of these at separate times. In the event one does quit, I can use one of the others while I repair it. High quality, well built, and tough as hell. Not like the $60 and $100 junk at WalMart. I don't trust the flat screens either. Most from what I've heard are built to last the warranty. After that, the set quits and your stuck.
Most non-repairable. I have a refrigerator from 1984 that works great. I also have a black and silver refrigerator that I picked up for free. Only thing wrong was the fan blades fell off the spindle in the back of the freezer. Since then, I've already had to replace the start/run cap on the compressor. $15 part. Not bad for a 2005 model though.
