Goodbye Zenith/Funai

[jstout66]

My 2000 Zenith 20" Combo TV/VCR bit the dust, and it had such low use. (as it was my treadmill tv...ha) A friend gave it to me and it was rarely used, picture wasn't outstanding, but not bad. Anyway.. went to use it Saturday, popped a tape in and the tape wouldn't do anything, and then TV turned off. Took the set apart, got the tape out and it still would turn off after 10 seconds, so it wasn't a hard decision... off to the trash it went.
I was surprised how CHEAP everything was when I had the set apart. Did Funai make ALL of the combo units that came out around that time-frame? If so.. there can't be many of those around. I replaced the set with a 1987 RCA Colortrac, and paired it with a matching VCR (so I only have to use 1 remote!)
I think this set-up is a much better fit.
