Hi Milton78, here in Edinburgh these Panasonic Vhs are sold by Cash Generator and are new/graded. They come with a warranty and have only a small cosmetic issue . If you have a Cash Generator where you live or nearby you could have a look as they may have them as well.

Thanks guys,

I'll look into the Panasonic thingy. Since I don't know where Brunetto lives, I don't know where to find the cheap Panasonic video either.

I agree with the others. Panasonic is very good. There's a store near me which is selling them for £19.99

I agree completely. I have all sorts of B&O VCRs but the only VCR I actually use at present is a Panasonic. I remember my old dealer advising me that although the VX range were excellent, the picture from a good Panasonic was just as good and for a fifth of the price. As most B&O VCRs use the sensor in the TV, using one with a non B&O TV would be tricky. I would get the same make as the TV preferably (if a good brand!) as it may well use the same remote.

The only relatively modern B&O is the V8000 which is a rebadged Philips/Grundig anyway. I do have one of these and it is pretty average.

I think just about any model would work but in a limited way, unless you have a remote.

I still have a Panasonic NV-FS90 and unless I specifically wanted a B&O to match my lx for instance, I would probably choose that every time!

Hi guys,

As my grandmother is one of the people still using the VHS frequently, and as her system is living on overtime (the VCR she's using is close to 25 years old), I am trying to see what's in the market from B&O to replace it. (B&O naturally, since they are one of few good VCRs still out there). Any tips on any model that'd work with a non-B&O tv (provided there even IS one)?
