Bonus points if you can keep the top-loading mechanism intact and do something special with it. You'll have to haunt the salvage yards and the garage sale circuit to find one of these dogs. Don't be put off if it isn't "cherry" - it's supposed to look like you've had it since '78. Happy hunting! -MF

Sounds like a good idea, any extra room helps.. I'm officially on the search for a vintage vcr now... thanks for the idea, I think it will def. make this mod a little more unique.
