Query: Very Cheap Piece of Equipment

This VCR is the worst I have owned. Although it has front and rear A/V inputs and rear A/V outputs (which is why I bought it), it plays and records some older tapes (1-2 years old) terribly. Store-bought releases play OK. With some of my older tapes recorded on VCRs I no longer own, the playback of some previously recorded and newly recorded older tapes is jittery and sometimes the entire screen starts "flipping" rendering any positive viewing experience impossible.These same tapes will play perfectly on my 10 year old basic model Magnavox VCR.This I believe is because of very cheap and poorly designed electronics and mechanism within the Sylvania. Very cheap all-plastic case, basically a tub with a top on it. Am not at all happy with it.
