	Yes, if you want to buy a commercial quiality unit.

	Apparently there is not much consumer demand for a "plain" video
cartridge recorder-player; most consumers want to record off-the-air programs,
and manufacturers want to produce as few different models as possible.  The
consumer VCR stuff is junk anyhow.  If you want a decent quality VHS unit, try
something like a Panasonic NV-8420, which is an industrial quality recorder,
and which sells for ~ $ 1K.  Panasonic has a companion tuner-timer, if you
change your mind.
