I have not had much luck with VCR's in exhibition settings. At
least not ones we have used (they play 8-9 hours a day for 364
days a year). I can highly recommend the use of a laser disk
player however. In the eight years we have used them in our
exhibition they have only needed to be repared once. We use two
of them in our permanent exhibition. One is a SONY that is eight
years old and as of yesterday its twin died and I just
installed a Pioneer CLD-V2800 (SONY no longer makes laserdisk
players). I have had very good luck with our other Pioneer
equipment in the past. As for Monitors, we use a Panasonic and
have had no repairs needed for ten years.
