Plus, the older ones probably won't have the fascist anti-copying filters!
BTW, do Sams Photofacts still exist, and if so can they be ordered on-line?
Our old VCR has been getting picky about what channels it will and won't
receive, but I'm probably too dense to repair a tuner even *with* schematics,
let alone without. But the only real electronics shop in the area can't get
Photofacts any more...
