My first VCR, a Citizen-branded VHS, was given to me for my sixth-grade graduation in 1993. I broke something in it by using visual rewind way too much and had it repaired, but it never was the same again. There was an older Sears VCR in the main room before that, and it just ran and ran and ran. We eventually "upgraded", which we quickly regretted because the replacement quickly broke. I now have a Sears VCR that is slightly older than what we had before, I think it just needs belts. I have two more VHS VCRs, including a notorious idler-eating Fisher FVH-530.
