VCR/DVD combos that are actually good?

[Jeffhs]

I have a Panasonic VCR I bought new in the '90s. It was a replacement for a similar Panasonic that had VCR+; I would still have the latter if it hadn't eaten a tape only a half-hour or so after I recorded a program. I replaced that Panny VCR+ machine sahortly thereafter with another (but the new one did not have VCR+). The new Panny VCR worked well from the time I installed it and still works to this day, although due to the DTV transition, of course, it does not record any longer. I kept the VCR because I still have a bunch of VHS videos I recorded from TV, not to mention a few prerecorded cassettes, in the '80s-'90s (again, long before DTV).
