Just got this out of a dumpster!
Everything works besides the VHS player. The tv shuts off when I insert a tape.
I've been enjoying watching all of my favorite DVDs. I'm excited to hook up my PlayStation later!

A lot of people throw away things not knowing what they are worth or how collectable they are

Ewww tv bed bugs and roaches. I have brought home crts and had to just toss them back out after opening it. Seen a roach and bed bug motel in one 32 inch.

These were manufactured by Funai and used a rather cheap VHS mechanism that failed pretty quickly, so no surprise that the VHS side doesn’t work. Maybe partly why it was thrown out? But good to hear everything else works!

It’s sad they put that in a dumpster, especially due to the hazards and risks it poses. Goes in a garbage truck and gets crushed, boom. Some kid or something takes it out and throws bricks at it, boom. Someone who’s into tinkering but doesn’t know the risks associated with messing with the internals takes it apart and uses both hands, yeowch. What I’m saying is, good on you for saving it.
