  One evening a bunch of friends got together with VCRs and did some
tape-to-tape copying with 2 low-cost VHS and one fancy Beta VCR.  Here
are some observations:

1. My low cost VCR worked far better when hooked to a good monitor.  Fast
   forward, pause, and reverse were far sharper than on the cheap JC Penny's
   TV we have at home.
2. We copied tapes via the RF connections.  Quality on 'standard play' was
   better than live recording of 'extended play' for the VHS recorders.
3. VHS-Beta copying didn't yield as good of an image as VHS-VHS.
