Um, do I really have to point out that VCRs are still available everywhere electronics are sold in the form of DVD/VCR combos? I just bought a Panasonic DVD burner with a VCR built right in. Hello, is this thing on?
But can you find a dedicated VCR? I still have an old Panasonic hanging around that I use to record things for my mother-in-law, but I haven't seen a dedicated, VHS-only player in years. Plenty of DVD/VHS decks, yes, but no VHS-only.
I would really like to find a nice DVD/VHS deck with an ATSC tuner (my mother-in-law again). Has anyone seen one of those?
Costco's got them. DVD-R with upscaling/VHS/ATSC tuner. Think the current brand is Panasonic. They have a Sony, but no tuner with that one. About $240 for the Panasonic if I remember correctly.
i dont know why anyone high ranked you. yes, you can still buy dual deck units...but can you find any place that still sells a standalone? same thing in car audio can be said about the cassettes if you ask me. Sure there were still some autos that were sold w/ cassette cd combos, but you'd be hard pressed in the early 00s to find a car that came w/ cassette only
