(Stop snickering, ricks, davecl, janec!)

My Olympus (a la Panasonic, Quasar, GE, Cannon, et. al.) portable VCR
is serving up lousy pictures, with the bottom third completely torn
up, the rest noisy.  I've heard scare stories about service (and 
even experienced them: one place gave me a $135 estimate, claiming a
chip in the tuner box was bad -- the recorder box is bad without the
tuner's help!)  Head cleaning has not helped -- I suspect alignment
since the recorder was used in a rugged environment (ski lessons).

Does anyone have <experience> with VCR repair places they can really
recommend?  Thanks in advance.
