Funai I believe is a division of Hitachi....I think.

Why IS it that Funai stuff is such junk? I've got a TV/VCR combo I'm playing with that can't have more than 20 hours on it and something in the AC power supply section crapped out . I can't believe I've seen a more ill-conceived set....you can't even plug in the damn connectors to the board to do some testing, the wires are so short that you have to have it all assembled completely for it to work.

Still works on DC though.....

This is the second Funai I've worked on....first one needed belts. Needless to say I screwed it up because you have to disassemble everything in the set to get at the VCR drive belt, had about a hundred cogs and gears lying there.
