A while back I bought a Magnavox/Phillips VCR and after I had been using

burns out or doesn't provide enough light output. From what I've heard,
this is a common problem with Magnavox/Phillips VCRs that are now being
made by Funai. So, if you don't want a VCR that only last 6 months
before needing repairs, don't buy Magnavox.

These are all from a while back, but I wanted to let everyone know that Magnavox is still at taking advantage of people. I documented my whole experience at the link below, but among the things they did was create a false ticket in my name to close the unresolved case, they even sent me a survey, and lie to the Better Business Bureau about the options that they offered me, which they never did. My guess is they threaten their guys in India to close cases in a certain amount of time, and tell them to make sure they don't ever fix anything. Anyway, the rest is here

I have a little bitty Magnavox AM/FM/Shortwave Radio. It was working great untill one day I accidently knocked it off of doggy's couch and the radio hit my hardwood floor, broke a lot of little bitty soldered connections. I have a larger Magnavox AM/AM/Shortwave radio too, it works A OK. I also have some other old Magnavox radios too. Magnavox is Good stuff.
