[net.video] new vcr

I am now in the market for another VCR, since my two month old
Quasar was ripped off. Perhaps someone in netland can help out.

My new requirements are:

4 head
wireless remote w/channel, on/off, and VCR/tv
cable ready to more than 105 ch
stereo, not necessarily the new hi fi
oh yea, VHS

I've looked at a Kenwood(by JVC) 905 that is a nice unit
and sells here in Oregon for around $800.

Someone on the net recently posted about a GE for $700,
are you out there??

Also, what is a good price on the new hi fi VHS machines?




I thought about a timer and a stick of dynamite for the next time
Mr. Rippoff comes by, long enough timer so he can get the 
VCR over to his place before  BAARRROOOOOOMM!!!

Any info will be appreciated, lots of info could prompt
another submission to net.video for those interested.



I'm bolting my new one down.

	Another VHS VCR to consider which has the specs you asked for is the
Minolta 770. It is a portable, 5 head, stereo, cable ready VHS VCR with
wireless remote. The lowest price I've been quoted for it in NYC is $650.
I have one and it works fine. I believe RCA and PENTAX market the identical
unit with their respective names on it.
