I still use a VCR to watch old VHS tapes. Do you still own a VCR?

I have 3. My favorite one (Made by Phillips) can transfer VHS to DVD and has the best heads and tape transport mechanisms.
I still vividly remember when VHS first came on the market in the early 70's. You should have seen them. They were amazing analog machines that weighed 48 to 50 pounds and cost between 3 and 4 thousand dollars each. Ones like this one by JVC...

Yes, I still do!
In fact, I purchased a JVC combination VHS and DVD player/recorder so I can convert my old videotapes to DVD before they begin to degrade. Some of the movies I collected in the past cannot be found anymore!

I still own a VHS one, but it's been stored in a cupboard for a least ten years now, just on the offchance I find something that needs converting.
(Plus a 1970s Philips video cassette machine in the loft, mainly for curiosity value).
