Does Anyone Still Have A Working VCR? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

JamesG · 11-14-2009, 12:17 PM

Just wanted to see who else has a VCR still as I don't think I am the only one...

I actually have two. One is about 15 years old and still works perfectly and the other is about 6 years old which is a VCR/DVD machine.

I still have 2. One is a plain VCR and the other is a VCR/DVD Combo.

Yes. I use it every once in a while to watch favorite movies I own on videocassette that I haven't yet purchased on DVD. I also use it to watch my family's old home movies from the 1950s and 1960s, which we had transferred from Standard 8 format to videocassettes several years ago.

I have two VCR's but one is a DVD Recorder Combo and the other one is a DVD Combo. I no longer have a stand alone VCR in my apt.

I have a VCR with a DVD recorder combination unit. I hardly ever use the VCR anymore though.

LuLu Rogers · 11-14-2009, 02:13 PM

Yes, I have a VCR in my room and my parents have a VCR in their room. I have a few videos that I haven't had a chance to convert to dvd yet.

Actually, I still have three, including even a working Beta (although I
seldom use it) and a VCR/DVD combo (which I use all the time, but only for
playback).
