Panasonic PV-V4525S 4-Head VCR, Silver
Nice VCR, brakes (on mine) not bad...
This is a good solid basic VCR.  The main complaint on here seems to be the \\"brakes\\".  That when you press \\"stop\\", it stops a few seconds after you press.  I was worried about this, but mine seems to be good.  At most there is a 1 full second delay, which to me is normal.  A fresh set of good alkaline batteries in the remote prolly also helps.  Anyways, I'd highly reccomend it, but seems to be hit or miss with the brake problem.
