Was the VCR a VHS or a Beta? Hifi/not HiFi? how many heads? the Beta decks where made by sony, most of the VHS where made by JVC some of the early-mid 80's ones where built like tanks. Well for $3 you can't go wrong...
Any pictures of the units?

Yes, it has a rotary volume control and the keypad
. I looked up the VCR Model # and did a Google search i found out the VCR has 3 Heads And it is a VHS Player/REC Made in the late 80's/early 90's Model # VRE150 it did not say if it was Hi-Fi or not? But i don't think it is

15-20 years ago, I was always finding '70's Zenith Chromacolor II's and '60's tube color sets; but, they have about dried up now. Except for a beat up 19" 4-tube hybrid color set from '74 that I found 3-4 years ago, I have not had a Zenith tube set in at least 10 years. Sometimes, I'll run across a '70's CCII or something from the '80's; but, those are getting harder to find. The only Zenith's I don't want to find are those horrible sets with bad CRT's that were made from around '92 onward.

I remember when i was 9ish (Back in 2003) there was a thrift store that had some Late 60's to mid 70's console tv's i wanted to buy one back then not because it was older but because i wanted a tv but my parents said it was to big and to old they said that they would buy me a new small (13") for my 10 Bday. boy i wish i some how would have got one of these console's that day
Now that thrift store is gone and the other one used to have 3 12 foot? selves full of old tv's but when i went to get my sears set that was only 1 of 6 and was the oldest, i know some of the other ones they used to have had tubes i think they started testing them and Found out alot did not work and trashed them.

If I go there on Wednesday, seniors day, I get them for $0.88, including tax. Last time I was there, I picked up an RCA built, GE. It works perfect, including the original remote.
