Need Manual for Sears VCR
Hi Everyone,
I received a sears VCR without a remote or manual. I can program some things but am stuck on others... Does anyone have any ideas where I can find the remote or manual for this model: Sears EZ-2Programme VCR Model 509-30115 My other VCR suffered a power surge and now the display just blinks when I turn it on-it won't do anything else. Any ideas for this one too :)? Thanks LS |
I don't mean to sound pecemistic(sp?) but you can buy a vcr these days for
$50. Most of the time it is not worth the trouble to fix an old vcr unless it is a high quality machine. I found most older vcr's don't have as sharp of a picture as the newer ones either. Could be due to worn / dirty heads. Anyhow Good Luck, and go ahead and fix it if you are just looking for a fun project. "snider" wrote in message oups.com...

Try ebay for that remote. E-mail some of the sellers.

Yet the name of the group includes the word repair. :) It doesn't say anything about exporting jobs to the far east, nor unnecessarily filling land fills, nor wasting raw resources :) Given that it isn't (or shouldn't be) a throw-away world, my vote goes to fixing what's fixable :) Ken |
Thanks everyone for the ideas. I hate to throw things out if they can
be repaired...I still have my 15 year old TV ;) Cheers LS |
I agree, I have a tv built in 1989 which I have fixed a few times but I
guess I just hate working on VCRs :- ) - Mike "snider" wrote in message oups.com... Thanks everyone for the ideas. I hate to throw things out if they can be repaired...I still have my 15 year old TV ;) Cheers LS |

Any ideas for this one too :)? Thanks LS Go to or call a Sears parts and repair center. They should be able to order a user's manual for your unit. They should also be able to order a remote for you also. Alternatively, Two routes to take for the remote. 1) Get a cheapie universal remote from any dept store, such as Walmart, Target or even Sears. Should be programmable to handle your VCR. 2) Shop at http://www.moteva.com/, maybe ask them for a recommendation as to which remote would best fir your VCR. -- Dave M MasonDG44 at comcast dot net (Just substitute the appropriate characters in the address) Never take a laxative and a sleeping pill at the same time!! |
Yeah, but this isn't even a real VCR, it's a SEARS VCR.
