Now here's something I hadn't anticipated writing in 2019...
My VCR just died an unceremonious death and I'm not ready to be out of the VHS world just yet. Obviously they're not making any new ones. Any opinions on how to proceed from here?
I'm thinking that I may just head over to eBay and buy from there. There are some sellers who are listing the exact same model I had, which worked well for me for many years - I'm already super familiar with it's operations, can do very minor repairs on it, and would have the added bonus of allowing me to keep my machine that just died around for parts if necessary. I figure with eBay's guarantees on purchases not being lemons, at the least, it shouldn't be a big deal if something I order ends up not working.
However, if there's a resource I'm unaware of for picking up VCRs in good working condition, I'm all ears!
