Any former VCR techs remember the RCA VR-270 (2-head) or VR-450 (4-head) VHS VCR (the compact-design made by Hitachi with top-button controls)? I bet over 20% of the RCA's 2,758 total number (552 units) in for service was either the VR-270 or VR-450.

Studio Sound Electronics owner also says a lot of bad things about the RCA VR-270 and VR-450 too. "One of Hitachi's worst products ever," is his favorite daily quote to me.
