Sylvania 6260VE 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR, Black
one of the last vcr only units
I like buying my AV equipment in separate components because when one breaks, you can just junk that VCR and get another, for example.  This VCR is one of the last that's just a VCR and works fine for what it does.  Image quality could be a a bit sharper, there could be an lcd on the front, but it's quiet and a good deal for the money.
