[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 34835, member: 176256"] The Radio Times is selling the Daewoo VCR for £159.99 plus £3.99 P&P. Which means it should be available elsewhere for £130 - £140. Whilst talking about VCRs (and at the risk of taking this thread even further OT) I was asked by an elderly gentleman I know to buy a new VCR for him. He has 2 normally and uses them for copying tapes and recording the mature content off s_x View - but that's another story. Anyway, his much used 8 year old Tosh VCR finally went tits up last week and after 7 days without he decided he couldn't wait for the possiblility of it being fixed, so out I went to see what was available for £100 or less. There were only 2 requirements; it had to have 2 scarts & also separate phono inputs together with a good slow motion replay action (!). It wasn't as easy as I hoped. The assistant at Currys said that videos were on their last legs now. It's all very well to say that DVDs are the future but that's no use for someone like my friend who has a large library of tapes and also helps out other friends at the OAP club by making copies for them. Anyway, I'll be sorting it out for him tomorrow. Despite assurances from the assistant, when I got the VCR he suggested back home yesterday it was without the necessary AU3 phono inputs. It fair makes your mind boggle. PaulR [/QUOTE]
