VCRs that will last forever

[Ed in Tx]

I seem to remember a couple of Akai branded VCRs from early-mid 80s that were rebadged JVCs, the JVC HR-7650 was one, don't remember the model #s of the Akai versions. We (employer at the time) were warranty service for Akai in those days. I worked on my share of those 7300-7350 Akai two piece portable beasts that were definitely unique to Akai.
