80's VCR that is Holy Grail ??

[Snade]

Hey Guys, I'm really enjoying my early 80's Trinitron in our basement family room. I've got it hooked up to my comcast cable (no box) and I get all the local stations (that's fine). Beautiful picture with warm colors.

I'd like to hook it up to an 80's VCR and watch some of my old VHS tapes of favorite shows.

The local thrift has about 10 VCRs right now. What is the best brand or model VCR to look for at the thrifts. Did VCRs go back to the early 80's ?

I've got a 90's panasonic VCR, but I'd like to look for a perfect match for the old Trinitron.

You guys are getting me hooked on vintage TV, thanks.

Merry Christmas, Snade
