Sony SLV-676UC is what I record pretty much everything with. Its tapes seem to play in almost anything.
BTW I did get the Mitsubishi HS-430UR, fixed the tape not loading problem caused by the cassette door opener falling out of the carriage. The IC behind the mechanism was also bad so I got it jumped right now so the VCR can operate normally, a new one is on order, and thanks Ed for helping me locate the part.
All this beast needs besides that is a tape path alignment, right now it will play SP fine but has noise and lines on EP tapes.
Of course, I will need to get new rubber for it, I resurfaced the pinch roller and idler with my sander drum attachment for my dremel. It's gonna be a little tougher because studiosoundelectronics does not seem to have the rubber parts for this VCR, unless maybe I can get generic ones...
This VCR is the coolest one I've found to date, and is built like a tank, which is why I am gonna focus on this one for now.
