I have an old clunker of a set, a combined TV and VCR that somebody
gave to us, which works well enough so I keep using it. Or it did: For
some reason the remote now only controls the TV and not the VCR: I
press play, rew,, etc and nothing at all happens.

The remote that came with the unit was nort the original remote, but
it worked okay until a couple of days ago when it suddenly stopped
working rigt. Is the problem in the remote, or did something in the
VCR finally give away and died on me?

Have you checked the battery to see if it is weak?
