Need Manual for Sears VCR

I don't mean to sound pecemistic(sp?) but you can buy a vcr these days for $50. Most of the time it is not worth the trouble to fix an old vcr unless it is a high quality machine. I found most older vcr's don't have as sharp of a picture as the newer ones either. Could be due to worn / dirty heads. Anyhow Good Luck, and go ahead and fix it if you are just looking for a fun project.

Hi Michael...

Yet the name of the group includes the word repair. :)

It doesn't say anything about exporting jobs to the far east, nor unnecessarily filling land fills, nor wasting raw resources :)

Given that it isn't (or shouldn't be) a throw-away world, my vote goes to fixing what's fixable :)

Thanks everyone for the ideas. I hate to throw things out if they can be repaired...I still have my 15 year old TV ;)

Cheers

I agree, I have a tv built in 1989 which I have fixed a few times but I guess I just hate working on VCRs :- )

by the way I did send the e-bay link earlier.

Amateur! I still have one of the original Motorola "Quasar" color TV sets from the mid '60s.

sigh my 1976 admiral finally gave up the ghost ..... I'm not gonna fix it anymore

Go to or call a Sears parts and repair center. They should be able to order a user's manual for your unit. They should also be able to order a remote for you also.

Alternatively, Two routes to take for the remote.

1) Get a cheapie universal remote from any dept store, such as Walmart, Target or even Sears. Should be programmable to handle your VCR. 2) Shop at maybe ask them for a recommendation as to which remote would best fir your VCR.

Never take a laxative and a sleeping pill at the same time!!

Shouldn't the (ratchet?) tuner have given up a long time ago? Or did it leave you with channel 3? :-)

my tuner is still perfect..... in fact i have a second tuner as well for parts

Hi Tom...

Think we used ratchet's on the service van while we were on our way to clean turret tuners :)

Take care.
