I know a couple of guys who run a VCR repair shop in Wisconsin. They mostly just sit around and talk about movies instead of repairing VCR players. In fact, I don’t think they’ve repaired a VCR player since the 80s. Not sure how they’re still in business.

Most of those skills are somewhat transferable to other consumer electronics and even computer hardware to some extent. Hopefully they did alright.

I’m pretty sure they’re probably dead now
