VHS Video Recorders.....remember them....?

[lcd4ever]

This one's for all you long time subscribers to WHF.....trying to find out which VCR they rated as the best.....there are some cracking bargains to be had over on e-bay and I still like playing my old videos from time to time(I am more fascinated by the old adverts in recordings sometimes more than the programmes themselves...memories....)...

So if there are any models that spring to mind....

I think my Panasonic VCR (NV-FJ615) was quite well regarded in its time but I have nothing in writing to back that up. However, it must be 7-8 years old now and is still going strong, but then it's pretty much never used these days

We've still got a top-end JVC Digital video recorder (D-VHS) at home

Oddly enough, it's going to be making its way onto eBay very shortly...

Clare, I would like to draw your attention to House Rule # 9 - "...The site must not be used to solicit business of any kind...".

I have a panasonic NV-FS200, cost £800 when i bought it new over ten years ago, although it's not used nowaday's.

You should put in on e-bay Slewis.......

I have always liked the Sony SLV-E1000(I think that's the correct model no. it had a really cracking yellow lcd display and about every editing feature you could ever want).....I lost out on one on e-bay just before Xmas gutted.....anyway does anyone recall a review for this model.....????

I've still got some vhs films knocking about, so i thought i'd look on ebay to see how much a good spec vhs player goes for as i once had a jvc s-vhs player many years ago. Was really shocked to see the prices they go for, i also looked up hd dvd players they seem to go for more now second hand they i paid for one new.

Can't understand nostalgia for VHS at all. It was a dreadful format from day one. I only wish DVD had come before it did. In a different league.

Remember them...... well I still use a JVC S-VHS (5 stars in it's day) for recording off a bog standard SKY box. Still works perfect and the picture quality isn't to bad even on my 42" full hd plasma. It did look alot better on my old 32" crt but it's perfectly watchable.

Found a spec on that vcr......was it ever reviewed on here...?

Anybody familiar with the Panasonic NV-HS1000 (apparantly sold for over £1000 when new....) ?

 

[lcd4ever]

You may be interested to know.....managed to get a Panny NV- FS200 as per Slewis over on e-bay with everything as new(remote etc) for the vast sum of £45....

Well chuffed

I have a JVC HR-S 5965 S-VHS recorder, one carefull lady owner,full service history and very low miles on the clock. What do you think it would fetch on fleebay ?

Seriously though it's in mint condition, very low usage with all original packaging, manual and remote. The remote still has the original battery in it so that shows how little it's been used over the years.

If it could fetch a reasonable price I might be tempted to get rid of it, oh I also have 2 used S-VHS tapes that would be included.

have a Panasonic NV-HD650 and when playing video clips on TDK HIFI grade tape in 2.o the sound really is quite full and warm. At times i prefer the sound of this to dvd music discs.Everything works too.

My friend had a JVC HMDH40000U almost certain that was the model cant remember ever seeing it in action though but they liked it!

Spiceweasel you would be looking at only £30 - £40. The Panny I picked up is from 1992 when it retailed at £1200 !!!!!!
