In an earlier thread a remark was made that the Dew Detectors fitted to
VCR's went high resistance over a period of time causing the dew detector to
come on permanently.

I took the opportunity to check this with a colleague who repairs VCR's for
a living and he expressed surprise as he could count the failures of this
type on the fingers of one hand. As far as he could remember this problem
only affected ancient recorders such as my Panasonic NV7000 (Duh).

This got me thinking that perhaps the reliability of these devices is
affected by climatic conditions and the UK is a benign climate as far as
these devices is concerned.

Anyone care to comment ?

Regards

Chris
