Toshiba DVR620 VHS/DVD Recorder

[DrDKW]

Well, if there's a prize for cheapest VCR/DVD recorder, I just picked up the Toshiba DVR620 at a local Goodwill store for $6.25! New in the box, which had been opened and resealed, but the unit, remote, batteries, cables and manuals were all in their various untouched wrapping, baggies and shrink-wrap.
No signs of any flood-damage or other defects. A shred of wrapping-paper stuck to the box indicates maybe this was an unwanted gift that someone donated. No idea why the price was so low except that often people donate their old units inside the box that the new one came in. So maybe nobody at Goodwill looked too closely. It was for sale at H H Gregg last spring, for about $240, and K-Mart last month for about $190. This summer I bought a new Magnavox (Funai) VCR/DVD recorder at Wal-Mart for $165
The Toshiba seems to be working fine. I'll try to be gentle with the 'fragile VCR compartment'.
Didn't know one could still get these with built-in tuners.

Happy Motoring, Mark D.
