Welcome back!
I had to ask that question. Our old VCR served us well until one night there was a huge lightning show outside. Normally, I like to watch those since they are usually so spectacular and sometimes pretty. All of a sudden, pop…crack….and it was gone. Just like that. Our television set, DVD player and VCR are all supposedly protected by a power strip. That night, everything was fine except for the VCR. It was dead. And since we were running everything through the VCR, it was all dead. The fear was that we had lost all three to the storm. No. Only the VCR.
Prior to this, I had already had a couple of VCRs repaired. The tape drives, if that’s what you call the thing that drives the tape through the VCR, are the first things to go in those since that is about all that it has. It has to be cleaned and so on. Yet, when those are done, they are most certainly done. Now, what I want to know is…what happened to the VCRs for sale in this country? Have they all disappeared off the shelves never to be seen again? I do realize this dates me a bit but the fact is, we have an enormous number of vhs tapes that we will want to watch and with no VCR, it would be like having obsolete items that we could no longer use. Now, I am talking about over 300 movies on vhs tape. Useless if we do not get another VCR.
