I too have looked at Funai vcr's that broke down, and they are pretty much unrepairable, as you all have found. However, I got one (branded Magnavox) as a Christmas gift in 1996 and it is still going strong. Have a 9" magnavox TV/VCR also Funai which works great. (Another one I had broke, though). Also I do have some of those old VCR's from the early 1980's, also maybe one from the late 70's. The build quality is a lot better, but I do much prefer the sound quality from the Hi-Fi VCR's. Audio S/N ratio on those old VCR's at SLP is pretty bad, lots of tape hiss.
