I couldn't agree with you more, that's why I like to have a small stash of 1980s vintage VCRs laying around so that if one ever fails I can have an extra one as a backup to throw in place while I troubleshoot and repair the one that failed. Like Electronic M said they are quite common yet but that doesn't matter to me because that only means that I can just locate another unit somewhere else if I need to as either a parts unit or as a backup unit.
