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.  |
I have a VR-275 still kicking around. Somehow it still works, although the linear stereo circuitry is all messed up. I remember seeing a few with dead power supplies when I was younger.
What were the major issues with this series of VCRs?
