Hey there! I'm new to this forum, so don't know that much about video stuff, aside from a few weird and obscure formats.

Anyway, I found a large GRUNDIG VS 200 RC VHS player/recorder at a thriftstore, not sure if it is anyway good? I have a SHARP VC-M31 at the moment.

Here, some pictures of the grundig:

Oh yeah, and what about those VHS-C, VHS and 8mm video cameras that I see everywhere at the thriftstores here, anything I should look out for when buying one? 8mm video isnt that interesting for me, but I'd like a large VHS or VHS-C camera.

What would be a good price for a sealed VHS-C casette?

Hi DSD-13,

the Grundig VCRs from that age have a small NiCd battery, soldered on the processor board. This battery needs to be replaced, else you won´t have any fun with that vcr. Then if there were orange or dark red cylindrical capacitors stamped ROE in the VCR, they have also to be replaced, often they were cracked or they may explode. And last but not least check and replace the belts in the drive.

Have Fun.
