Does anyone know where can I locate a Panasonic PV-MS2750 27" TV/S-VHS VCR combo? Does anyone here have one? It's a 1990 model and was the only TV/S-VHS VCR ever made. This has been my dream model for many years, but no one seems to have one, so I am not able to get one used. I know only less than 2,000 units were made. Are they all in the landfill by now or are people still hanging on to it?

Andy, here, might have worked one. How was it and what it looked like, by the way?

I had one a couple of years ago, but I sold it soon after I got it. I picked it up next to a dumpster (I wouldn't have bothered, but I had never seen an SVHS TV/VCR combo before). It had a few odd problems, but worked well after everything was fixed. It was also the only dual tuner TV/VCR I had ever seen.

How was the picture quality and what problems were there? Looks like I may have no chance on getting one. :tears:

The TV was about what you would expect from one of the better early 90's Panasonics. The VCR was their one motor design which I have never liked. It's very slow to change modes and has a complex gear system that can jump timing easily.

It had a pincushion problem that was caused by part of the ferrite core coming off a coil in the deflection circuit. That took a while to figure out because the coil looked fine and the circuit appeard to be working as designed. It was only when I noticed a ferrite cup sitting in the bottom of the cabinet that I figured it out. Gluing it back on the coil fixed the problem.

The other problem was an intermittent picture. That was caused by a bad transistor in the on screen display circuit.

Just want to update this thread since it's #1 on Google. If anyone out there in United States owns a Panasonic PV-MS2750 27" SVHS/TV combo and decides to sell it, contact me. Reward is anywhere between $50 (abused, major crack, and broken), $100 (daily use), $500 (in guest room), $1,000 (like new), to $2,000 (brand new in its original box), depending on condition. I will also buy non-working units. I may also consider a Panasonic PV-M2730 at half the price above, respectively. I would rather take home a NIB Panasonic PV-MS2750 than a NIB 50" 1080P Panasonic plasma HDTV, even at the same price. Don't attempt to recycle it. Thanks.

If this post is still here, I am still looking for one, despite the date I wrote.

I received one PM message who has this unit. Whoever wrote it, please describe the condition of the unit via PM.

What a huge joke and a spoil new year's day from this person who asked me if she has this TV. After all the anxious waiting and sleepless nights, it ends up being a Panasonic PV-C1332W 13" TV/VHS combo, made in the cheaply 2002, not the PV-MS2750 27" TV/S-VHS combo, made in 1990, I am looking. She demands $1,000 for the PV-C1332W. Please... :boring:

If you own a PV-M2730 or PV-MS2750, and want to sell it too me, please let me know. I am only interested in these models. Please verify the models by looking at the back of the TV prior to posting. If you do not have this model, or the model number does not match to this posting, or you are trying to guess if you can get $500 for this TV, please do not contact me. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about that, waltchan. That must have really sucked.

I'm curious, why do you want that particular model so badly?
