| 1158868 | 2010-12-06 01:23:00 | About Blu-Ray uptake, people forget how long it took DVD to get established. It was years until they outnumbered tapes at the video store and even longer before movies stopped being offered on both. Even now the video store has a large nuimber of old vhs tapes still for hire. I have a Blu-ray player and I love it :) but for a lot of people DVD is still good enough and until their existing player dies there's no real incentive to upgrade. I also have a perfectly good (last I checked) VCR sitting on a shelf gathering dust, can't give it away. |

| 1158869 | 2010-12-06 07:59:00 | Oh yeah, regarding the OP's question - I sourced belts for my old VCR, and an old radio cassette stereo via the local electrical repair shop... (TV, radio, washing machine repairs) didn't pan out as worth my while though, as issues continued to develop in other parts... but if you're the sort who likes the challenge, then you've got sod-all to lose, and experience to gain. | Paul.Cov (425) | ||
