Quasar top-loader Find
I got a little manic yesterday after helping my Aunt hook up her new DVD/VCR combo. Jesus god.. what a cheap plastic piece of crap that was, and of course she wanted to record, and since they have no tuners anymore I had to pull my head out of my a**, to figure it out. (RCA jacks from the output of the cable box, to the input of the combo unit.... more RCA jacks from the output of the combo unit to the input of the TV)
Anyway.... got home and looked on Craigslist for VCR's to add to my stash. Picked up a mint Sony SLV-799HF with instruction book for $8.00, and then.. saw a top-loader with 15 movies for $10.00. What a beast, but it works great. It's a Quasar model number VH5032WQ with a wired remote... and it works! I saw a repair sticker on it from 1994, so I imagine that's the last time it saw new belts. The guy even had the remote. Hooked it up to my Zenith 4 tube hybrid, and surprise.. no horizontal tear.....
