I hope you didn't take offense to my post. Absolutely none intended. My
cut and paste may have appeared derogatory, and if it did--it was intended
to be towards Emerson, not Tritronics. You have probably seen some posts by
people expressing frustration in the lack of parts availability from some of
these companies "badging" inexpensive combo tvcr's, that have been prone to
a quick self destruction. The primary reason this particular unit failed is
because of the overly obvious, poorly engineered part. I will replace this
part about every 6 months---in the same unit--until they redesign (butress)
the part. As I mentioned, I will have to upgrade the part myself, and/or
replace it every 6 months.
Thanks for the phone number

> For everyones information this is a common problem that you will find in
all brands. Every manufactor sells their name to a store (ex: sears &
circuit city ) to make a tv or vcr that is exclusive to them only . Most
often Funai or Symphonics. They are sold with out warranty but thru the
selling dealer only , thus they dont recognize that model for parts
availible thru them. Customers do not know this and we recieve numerous
calls everyday asking us for parts. When we can cross a model over to
another manufacture we load that info in our system, however when we can't
we list the 800 number for brand that made it . Also we try to source after
market common parts that we can list under these models or kits when
availible Hope this helps eliminate any confusion that has incured.

> description: take up side slant base assembly AND more importantly the
stamped metal piece that screws onto the bottom of it and keeps it in the
proper position when loaded. The original was bent and will not support the
slant base when bent back. Is part upgraded? It sure needs it. Not strong
enough, and will fail miserably again. I will modify the new one, when I
get it. I don't know if you pass these tidbits of insight on to the
manufacturer or not, but it would be good for everyone involved--especially
the customer.
