RCA VR639HF 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
Takes a lickin'...keeps on tickin'
I have had this VCR since it came out, years I tell you.  After all this time, the remote stills works without fail.  The Movie and Commerical advance is still on point and I have no problems with the unit what so ever.  I have made it from college, to three apartments and a move from North to South and it is still running fabulously.  Every once in a while I'll pop in a cleaner and then keep it moving, since I tape a show everyday at 6am for the last 5 years, I have had absolutely no problems with it.  I have to say that the newer VCR versions do not compare.
