Measure the clock display on your VCR
Cut an equal length of electrician's tape
Put the tape over the clock display on the VCR.



Another idea is you can put the VCR in the trash, that will also keep it
from flashing 12:00. Or you can buy one of the VCRs made in the last 10/12
years that don't even have a clock that flashes 12:00, just a bunch of LEDs
for power/timer/record/ and stereo if it's a Hi-Fi model.
