Dave & Caroline,
The talking VCR came from LG. As Dave says, it rather frustratingly talks to
help you through some of the menus but stops at some of the vital moments. I
have one which would be about the same age as Dave's and mine hasn't blown
up...yet. Its sound reproduction is actually very good. But I don't know
whether you would find it any longer. I'll just check the model number...
Nope, the machine itself appears not to carry the model number and we no longer
have the manual. sorry. QVC might be able to tell you what it was even if
they have none left.
Cheers now.
Ian

The talking VCR you mention was sold on the QVC shopping channel. It did
talk, up to a point, but was not a particularly good machine. I had one,
but it blew up, almost literally, at the end of last year. My local Dealer
tried to get a replacement, but without success. I cannot remember the name
of the manufacturer, but it was a fairly popular make. I would not
particularly recommend it. I now have a JVC machine which is okay, but is
not particularly blind-friendly. However, I do have the Cobolt talking
remote control, which works pretty well, although there is no facility on
the remote for changing the tape speed. It does work with many of the
popular machines.
Not sure that this is particularly helpful, but I cannot really recommend
the talking VCR even if you can get one, which is unlikely.

Hello,
My video recorder has given up the ghost and I am looking to replace it.
If anyone has bought a VCR recently and has found any model to be
particularly VI-friendly, I would be interested to know about it.
A year or two ago I remember hearing about a talking VCR which received
mixed reviews. Is this model still available, does anyone know, and if so,
would you recommend it?
Thanks,
Caroline.
