Well for me, I don't think I'd trust a cheap Wal-Mart VCR with my Star Wars tapes. As far as good SVHS players that I'd trust my tapes with? I'm sure they don't make them anymore. Then again, you can still easily buy laserdisc players made in the late 80's and early 90's on eBay, so I'm sure the same goes for VCRs.
