RCA VR646HF 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
Well....
This is a good enough VCR, which I bought to replace a Sony in the same price range. The machine just arrived and I'm both happy and disappointed. Happy because the machine was a breeze to set up, works fine, and is  blessedly silent in operation. On the other hand, recording quality is not  very good and the construction is cheesy. There is no counter on the unit  itself, which is an annoyance (especially since you can't hear the unit  playing, rewinding, anything). I'm happy enough to keep it and it plays  prerecorded tapes beautifully... but I liked my Sony better.
