>Subject: Multi-system VCR sources- still

How long will we still be able to buy multi-system VCRs?  And from 
where?  One of our professors wants one.  One of the vendors that we 
have used, 220-electronics.com, has not answered an email query, and 
both their listed toll-free phone numbers report that the numbers are 
disconnected.  Their web site is still active, but I hesitate to use 
them again, if they won't communicate.

World Gift Center <www.world-import.com> still seems to be in business. 
I've ordered and received DVD players from them in the last month.  The 
selection of multi-system VCRs is limited, and all seem to require a 
video converter, which they also sell, in order to play PAL on an NTSC 
TV.  They have a few VCR-DVD player combo units, which also require a 
video converter.

For this professor, simpler is better.  She needs to view PAL and NTSC 
VHS videos and DVDs.  SECAM is not needed.  A single unit that would 
play PAL or NTSC VHS and DVD on an NTSC TV would be optimum.  Any 
advice on vendors, manufacturers, and models will be welcome.

Thanks,

Derek
