Nothing other than a reasonable quality video processor is going to do a good job of it. Their best bet would probably be to find an older AVR that has composite video upscaling, but finding one that had a reliable HDMI board might also be difficult. The Onkyo/Integra mid tier units from 2013-2015 might be a good option. My Integra DTR-50.5 had composite upscaling and never gave me any HDMI problems. It had the well known Marvel QDEO processor for video which many high end DVD/Bluray players had around that era.
