Yes, Sam's Photofacts covers VCRs (also TVs, radios, and lots of other
odds and ends of electronic equipment -- back to 1947 or so).  The cost
of a folder varies from 5 to 10 dollars and usually includes an assortment
of info for several different machines.  When I lived in Seattle, the
city library had a complete set and you could copy the relevant pages.
Your library may do the same thing.  If not, check with the various
electronic dealers (not Radio Shack!) and/or service shops for someone
who can sell you the folder you need (there is an index by manufacturer
and model number).  

Another approach to getting the needed manuals is to contact a local 
authorized service shop and see if they will order you a manual or let
you copy theirs.
