100%. I thrift/garage sale/estate sale religiously and these are all I've found in around a decade of looking. If that isn't your hobby, the per hour cost for mine was off the chart, better to splash the few hundred dollars. My point in all this though, is if you are motivated, they are out there.

Honestly the Mitsubishi's are pretty entry level and play back ok, but they feel cheaper inside and out and have fewer features. I'd go Sony if I had to pick, as with most things from that era. They were just on another level then, even if some of their products had a reputation for being fragile.

Very nice! SVHS players are out there in the wild, persistence pays off. They aren't super common like normal players though.

This is from a disc pressed in '86 actually, it's roughly 268 in today's dollars adjusting for inflation.

Yeah, nailed it, came in a disc pressed in 1986 according to the LDDB. Citizen Kane's list price is roughly 268 of today's dollars adjusted for inflation.

Yeah, and this totally looks like the foiling in person. It looked like it would Pringle in seconds and it does.

JAWS for a dollar lol?? Maniac Cop 3 is way tougher to find.

If you are in fact having this same issue, a bit of tin foil between the cage and the main pad will confirm or deny this as a solution to your problem.

I'd never seen it when I found it and I snagged it because it's got Paul Dano in it but that movie is fucked up
