Pawn shops ehh - sounds like a goose chase - i'm not tryin to spend that kinda time on it. If I can't find anything I'll use a plain vcr but I just hate to 'cause I'll always being thinkin I could have extracted better quality from the tapes before I destroyed em
We have one like that in the house which I just hooked up and found that the s-video is only for the dvd side of it. Although this one is just a cheapo emerson, I bet most of them are like that.
I used to have a decent vcr with s-video. And had a dual vcr/dvd combo. But alas, I got rid of those as well. I can ask my brother if we still have one in the basement somewhere.

straight up never realized that since barrow, despite never being seen without wheel stuck to it, is a word too so autocorrect doesn't step in
Borrow doesn't even look right to me. I feel like I'm a canadian reading that out loud.
According to what I found googling it, no but if it has s-video, it's still a worthwhile degree better than the lower 90% mainstream out there for the s-video connection alone and it's something a typical consumer might actually have. All the S-VHS aka super VHS decks have that afaik.
I remember my dad bought one from JVC (an S-VHS player) right around when DVD's were starting to take over but VHS was still pretty prevalent.

That's a pretty helpful source. They run through the principle tech features that a high end VCR would have. I don't know much about that stuff but it looks like anything really good is prosumer/professional market so you'd have to be pretty serious to own anything that elite.
BTW I searched ebay and there's just about nothing on that list to be found and anything that vaguely looks like what they're talking about is hundreds of dollars
So the long and short of it is I was hoping maybe somebody that built a nice ass theater in the 90's or somethin might still have a crazy VCR but if not, then anything with S-video would be extremely helpful
Most of the DVD/VCR combos do have s-video but the s-video tends not to be functional on the VCR component so it doesn't do any good - would have to check the equipment individually
The PDF of the user manual I found on the model implies it's just like mine. The s-video only works for the dvd player
I really appreciate the offer though
