[Vision2020] vcr repair

[Robert Dickow]

I discovered that it is often not practical to take these devices to a
repair shop. The minimum bench charge is about $47.00, and then hourly labor
goes on top of whatever parts you might need. Figuring in the wear and tear
your device has already suffered, it is not worth it, especially since you
can get pretty darn good units brand new for as little as $49.00, and deluxe
ones for just a little more.

It seems that much of the electronics industry is geared to a throw-away
market. Sad, but true.

Does anybody know of any VCR repair shops in this area?  We now have 2 VCR's
that are not working and we don't know where to take them, or if it's even
worth it to spend the money on repair.  I know some time ago Moscow had
Darold's TV and VCR repair in town, but I believe they are out of business
now. 

If anybody has info, please let me know offlist.  

Thanks!!
