We have these local Unique Thrift Stores, each have
a basket of odd remote controls. Panasonic remotes
are easy to find. $1.95 each, I have a few myself.
Most Panasonics built in 2000 and newer have the
bright display, and 1999 models and older have that
annoying dim display. The last Panasonic VCR was
built in '05 '06. I picked up a few old '89 Sony VCRs
for $10 each at Unique Thrift and they run like a tank.
The older black Sonys can also suffer from dim displays
but work best with converter boxes. I would look for
a newer VCR maybe at a garage sale.
