Just don't expect the same durability from the new one as you got from
the one that was made 37 years ago. Do you recall what you paid for it
in 1975?
I remember around 1975 I got a new clock radio for my birthday, used it
daily and it lasted over ten years, and when it died the one I replaced
it with was good for about ten years. Nowadays if I buy a clock radio
I'm lucky if I get two years out of it before it stops working, and
after a year or so of use I buy a new clock radio and keep it unopened
and sitting in the closet just so I don't have to scramble to pick up a
new one when my current one craps out.
VCR's were the same way in the 80's; they were good for daily use for
7-10 years, but by the late 90's they lasted maybe two years before they
needed replaced.

In the 1980's the cost of a VCR was quite high, in the 90's , the cost
came down quite a bit. You could probably buy one for almost half the
cost as in the 80's.
So, why are you complaining. We went thru a lot of expensive VCR's,
they did not last from 7-10 years. The ones in the 90's lasted just as
long. I had most of the brand name ones too. I wish I had the money, I
wasted on those VCR's, I could buy a very large flat screen TV.
