Good sounding VCR ????

Get one which has level controls on the front instead of setting the record level automatically, those are usually built for better audio performance. At this late stage of the game your best bet may be to just find something newish and in working condition, like a higher end JVC for example. BUT, if you really want performance, and aren't afraid to replace some belts and idler wheels, I would suggest a late eighties NEC as my own personal recommendation... their sound quality was fantastic.
