Gee Joel, I figgered you'd be onna those DVR kinda guys ...
Going "Retro" on us? ;-P
I see Best Buy only offers two; a 4 head stereo Panasonic with
commercial skip for $65 and a Sony 4 head stereo with commercial skip
for $80. Wal*Mart seems to have a better selection - but more 'off'
names. [1]
I'd go with the one with the nicest remote.
HTH,

(My first VCR was a Mitsubishi. I spent waaaay too much. It had all of
the bell and whistle feature that I never actually used very much. On
the plus side, while everything else was black or chrome - this one was
bright red!)
[1] VCRs have been kind of a 'commodity' good for a while now. There
are probably only two companys actually making the innards these days
anyway. A brand name means the assembly used components somebody spec'd
out ... but the no-namers could be built to the same specs (and in the
same plant).
