Need a new VCR in 2018.

[bgadow]

I think it was on 12/31/99 that I treated myself to a new VCR, a Panasonic that I chose because it proclaimed in big, bold letters on the box "made in JAPAN". A long ago lightning strike took out the TV/VCR switch but otherwise it remains my go-to unit. Like BetaFan mentioned, an above average rewind that sounds like it's about to take off! (continously variable speed, always sounded like quality to me)
