    combined VHS/DVD players are now rediculously cheap. The drama with trying to fix old ones is finding parts which usually involves scavenging from other machines if you can find one.

    I thought that modern women were quite familiar with items that are electrically powered these days?

    How many VCR tapes do you have that aren't on DVD yet? Heaps of us have got the equipment to do VCR to DVD conversions; just pass along a few tapes to each person and they'd all be done in a week.
    One owner. Only driven gently on Sundays. Sold to best offer. First to see will buy. Reward offered for safe return. Coming soon to a cinema near you. Available for a limited time only.

    My waterbed broke this morning. Oh, I don't have a waterbed. Bugger.

    The need to repair a VCR in the age of DVD can mean only one thing: homemade porn.

    You dirty-bird.

    What is best in life? Troll the forums, see the threads derailed before you and hear the lamentations of the moderators.

    could just be a rubber drive belt (broken or stretched), crack it open and have a look what happens when you put in a tape and press play.....

    then if it is a belt, take it out and ring around for a belt, i have used orings as well to repair m DVD / stero / VHS but thet dont always work .... as some belts are square
    but be careful some places like to charge big bucks for a 20 cent orig belt.....
    ring a few dodgy repair men / shops for a cheap belt or off to shoddycheap for a look at there oring boxes

    OH be careful when u open and turn the power back on there's electricry in there too.......
