Toshiba W808 S-VHS ET VCR for around $250 Shipped. Warm...

[GetInMyFatBelly]

I was looking last week for a good S-VHS VCR and found that the new Toshiba W808 had all the goodies I needed, I live in California, so I ordered from consumer-direct.com(outside CA so no Tax) and got it for just over $250 shipped ($239.95 plus $11.87 FedEx Express shipping). I got it in 2 days. Even came with a free T-shirt. If you live outside California, then no tax at ecost.com may make it a better deal at $220 plus shipping (I don't know their shipping rates, but over $400 order get you free shipping). This isn't a hot deal, but not a bad VCR for the money (6 heads and S-VHS ET that lets you record S-VHS on a regular VHS tape). Has:

I've heard of thread crapping, but what is this...

GetInMyFatBelly,

Not a bad deal for a very nice VCR. What do you think about the Panasonic PV-VS4820 SUPER VHS VCR for $179.95 from PCMall.com? (Go through ebates for an additional 3%)

I picked up two of these yesterday...1 for me and 1 for my mom. I liked the SVHS capability and especially liked the Commercial Advance and Movie Advance features which automatically skip over commercials during playback of recorded broadcasts and annoying movie previews on rented tapes. Comes with VCR Plus+Gold for easy programming, front AV inputs, and a bunch of other goodies.

Shipping (2nd day shipping) was ~$17.00 and UPS Ground was ~$12.00

Nice deck for a nice price, like that commercial FF advance.

Wolverine27,
Where exactly did you find the Panasonic PV-VS4820 at PCMall? I can't seem to find it.

Thanks!

Go to www.mysimon.com and put in the Panasonic model number and you will come up with many retailers, PCMall has them in stock.

Willow21,

I just checked the website again (8:35 p.m. est) and it appears that the Panasonic must be out of stock. There were only 4 left when I ordered yesterday. Here's the link to the Panasonic.

They say to call them for availability. Don't forget to go thru ebates to get an additional 3% back.

Regards,

Wolverine27

P.S. 800.com carries it for $249.94 but you may want to try price matching thru them. PCMall is not on their standard "price matching list" of vendors. But you can call 800.com at 800-327-5815 to check others vendors. Good luck.

I have one of these and it really is wellmade,and works great but my only complaint is thatthis and most new vcrs only have sp and slp record speeds I miss the lp speed on my samsung but this is the top of the toshiba line....

 

[NutBucket]

I'm with wsmith5 over here. What is it with the lack of lp record speed? I got in on that JVC HRS-9600U deck from massmech*ndise a few months back for $199. Killer deck, top of the line, NO LP!!!! WTF??
