I still have my Sanyo Beta machine, which I got in the 80's. Still works just fine, too. It has outlived at least four S-VHS machines!
Right now it's all in a sort of uproar. I don't really have enough shelf space to store all the tapes as well as the growing collection of DVD's. Add to that, I just purchased a 1080p 42" flat panel to go above the mantle (and replace the TV armoire blocking the fireplace) and there is be a component storage issue as well. Something's gotta go!
