I wanted to move movies across to the DVD recorder as well, and there were still some other VHS tapes around the house that it would be handy to have a player for.

I bought a new 4 head VHS recorder from Future Shop (Best Buy) for $75 CDN not too long ago. Mine was Sony, they are listing a JVC at the same price now.

I thought of a combo machine with VHS/DVD, but the DVD player portion was low-tech, so I skipped it.

Use a transfer service if it is a one time deal. If you ever may want to play another tape, consider picking up a VCR.
