It's amazing that VCR repair / sales was a hot business not too many years ago; but, no one is interested in having them fixed anymore. I remember when VCR's cost several hundred dollars and now you can get a cheap plastic throw away VCR/DVD combo for $60 or less. A friend of mine told me that he used to get $150+ for a good used VCR but now he's doing good to get $15 for one.

Those CRT's... Jeez... what a major disaster. I didn't work on that many TV's back in the day but I remember the TV service guys in the shop commenting on those tubes...

Yep, back in the late '80's you gave a VCR service estimate of $150-200 and you got a warm "Thank you" and a bottle of booze for Christmas. Then, about the late '90's-early '00's you tell someone they need minor alignment and a cleaning for $29 and they get all pissed off. I was so OUTTA THERE in '01!!!
