Studio Sound Electronics preferred rankings on 1990s units...

(Copied from Magnetic/Tape forum...)

I e-mailed Studio Sound Electronics, the largest online VCR part-store, on his opinion on 1994 to 2005 VHS VCR reliability, and he sent me this:

FEWER REPAIRS
<<<<<

01 -- Sanyo (most-reliable)
02 -- Shintom/Toshiba/Sony
03 -- Fisher
04 -- Hitachi
05 -- Orion/Emerson/Broksonic/Sansui
06 -- Mitsubishi
07 -- Sharp/Admiral
08 -- Samsung/RCA/GE/Samtron/Toshiba
09 -- Panasonic/Quasar/GE/Memorex/RCA
10 -- Funai/Symphonic/Hitachi/Philips-Magnavox/Sylvania
11 -- Toshiba/RCA/GE/ProScan
12 -- JVC/Marantz/Philips-Magnavox
13 -- Sony
14 -- GoldStar/JCPenny/LXI/Allegro/Zenith
15 -- Daewoo/Audiovox/Emerson/Fisher/GE/RCA/Sanyo (least-reliable)

>>>>>
MORE REPAIRS

Sanyo was the most-reliable, while Daewoo/Audiovox/Emerson/Fisher/GE/RCA/Sanyo were the least-reliable. Would all of you (as techs) find this (his rankings) more preferable and accurate?
