I can certainly agree as regards comments as regards the ferguson 3 v29-3v30,ntrymy preferemce was the 3v16 and also the jvc 3360, and also the panasonic nv8610 ,now although these are not hi-fi or stereo machines as the original post ,its just my 2 penny worth mostly worn heads because of bacj tension too high or belts and cassette lamps needing replacing some basic faults but fairly easy to repair and a basic level for owning a vcr ,and my personal favourites were the Sony SL-C9s and the SL-HF 950s
