Back in the day, I had an evening job after school in a TV repair shop, and back then TVs and video recorders had a ridiculous amount of presets that controlled nearly every aspect of their operation.

You'd be amazed - or maybe you wouldn't - how many people would bring their ailing VCR in and say "Oh the picture went all fuzzy so I opened it up and a lot of the little screw things were loose so I tightened them up but it hasn't helped - it's not going to be *very* expensive is it?"
