Zenith VCS442 4-Head VCR
Good for the money.
This Zenith VCR does everything it was supposed to do and I have no complaints.  It plays commercially recorded tapes, it plays tapes recorded on other machines and on this machine.  It's not state of the art and doesn't have all the bells and whistles...but it only costs 50 bucks for Pete's sake!  I'm happy with it.
