It wouldn't work after being built, I opened a built one and found that there is a great deal of difference. It was sent back, after a lot of work to make it work, in June. They sent a new one and it worked well when I hooked it up to a TV. I've used it 6 times and the video has deteriorated to an almost unrecognizable mess. I have tried saving and reading tapes with this and found that I can write tapes but not read them. Is there a way to fix this piece of junk or should I just write it off and use it for spare parts? I wouldn't recomend these to my wost enemy after the luck that I have had. C. J. Holzwarth ihuxv!cjh Bell Labs Naperville Ill
