Sony SLV-N750 Full Chassis 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
Not all that bad
I have had this VCR for about a year now, it has worked flawlessly.  The picture quality seems fine to me, I know that others have complained about that.  I have not used it to record, only to watch rented movies and tapes for the kids, so I can't comment on the recording quality.  As others have noted, it does rewind fast.  And it has stood up to the kids use, watching a lot of movies for about a year, YMMV
