Yeah, I've settled on a 2001 Sony model. Was originally $1500, they go for about $150 now.

The best VHS player I've ever used was a camcorder.
Most of them only did mono audio, but the video output was almost indistinguishable from a high end S-VHS deck.
That Fisher VCR I had had all kinds of image filter and sound processing inside of it. I still think it had a better picture than my 1st DVD player from 2000, because of the tiling you can see with DVDs. It was a sad day when that VCR died.
VHS was gutter trash in it's heyday. Blurry at it's best, tracking issues, shit tier sound. You're looking through the rosest of rose colored glasses. Perhaps nostalgic for a time long past, and not a format.Quote:

Give it to me!
Bought you a $100 VCR did you?Quote:

I want to find another Fisher VCR like that one. I have CRTs in my office and old VHS tapes like Queensryche Operation Mind Crime that I haven't rocked in about a decade. It sounded really good with a Pro-Logic receiver (6 speaker setup) back in 2004.
What’s going on in that video? I’m on a phone speaker so it just seems like someone recorded audio off a cd to a vhs tape and clipped it a little bit?
