Panasonic PV-V4520 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
Great Little VCR!
I was lucky and was able to find this model back in Sept 2001.  It's Panasonic's 2000 model year entry level VCR, and it's really reliable.  Picture quality is clear &amp; brilliant, and it plays tapes very clean.  It doesn't add noise to older tapes like some other VCRs do.  The only drawback is the motor noise, but once you get used to it, you don't notice it.  It's compact and fits into limited spaces with ease.  It's one of the last VCRs that was made in Japan by Panasonic for the 2000 model year.
