Percussive Maintenance
Oct. 13th, 2007 04:55 pm1) Need replacement VCR for occasional nostalgia and transfer of old tapes to digital.
2) Discover that no one sells VCRs at retail anymore.
3) Buy cheap used VCR off eBay. Possibly from Russia.
4) Wait for seller to ship. Seller is in no hurry.
5) VCR finally arrives. Will not accept tapes. Consider scathing eBay feedback.
6) Whack VCR a few times with heavy object. Suddenly, VCR works just fine, thank you.
7) Roll eyes, sigh, and enjoy old tapes.
