- My brother uses his standard VCR with a radio tuner attached to the
- audio input jacks to record off of radio with the timer. To record
- directly onto cassettes, you could get a remote control capable cassette
- deck and buy one of those programmable (learning) remote controls that
- allow you program key sequences to be issued at predetermined times. That
- would do the job. I saw a Memorex remote control that did that from
- Damark Catalog not too long ago. Maybe Radio Shack carries one like it,
- at a much higher price than the Damark Catalog, since Memorex is now
- owned by Radio Shack.
