No kidding, I must have six cheap VCRs in various states of disrepair.
OT: I still have a 2X sony
clamshell scsi CD rom drive from the early 80's, Still works. Paid
$300. I have dozens of broken, cheap
CDROM drives, some less than a year old. Too bad warranty shipping cost
more then replacement cost.

Most
televisions in the late 70's - early 80's came with RF in only. If
And many of them had a live ('hot') chassis so it was non-trivial to add
a composite video input...
you wanted comp in, you had to buy a
"monitor".
Back then, VCRs weighed 50 lbs and cost around $500.
On the other hand, they still work 20 years later, unlike the modern
plastic crap I see for sale.
