The VCR
is still very servicable, although I never could fix the capacitor
that holds up
the memory for supposedly 3 hours in a power outage. Now I have to
reset it for
even
the shortest power outages. It's probably tricky, because the last
VCR tech who
tried to fix that said he couldn't find the right capacitor to do the
job.

Hmm,
VCR is going out of it's time. If you need it like I do I have several
in the house. Some with DVD/VCR combo. They are cheap. I am moving all
the tapes to DVD.

Hope you keep the tapes. Tapes last a long time,
will your recordings on DVD?
