Well, what a ratty collection. Dirt, dust and bits missing. I have 12-15 and that is a small collection I suppose, but they were all repair projects and I had fun getting them going. As a thought, I reckon that his film is made at a duplicating house - they use banks of consumer VCR's.

I didn't watch it all the way, but from what I saw at the start (and other bits), his collection appears to consist entirely of run-of-the-mill consumer VHS models from the 1990s onwards.
No ten-ton top-loading early-80s models, no professional formats, no esoteric rarities from Japan, and no sign of any really early machines like the Philips model with the square cassettes (N1500/VCR IIRC) and mechanical clock which came out in *1972*. Yeah, I'm enough of a geek that I might have found that mildly interesting, but this? Boring. |

I bought an ex-Visionhire Philips N1500 in 1979, it came with 3 tapes. It cost me £99! ( alot then). I had it until 1985, when I copied the tapes onto vhs.

And remember that when it first came out (according to Wikipedia), the N1500 cost £600 in 1972 money, the equivalent of over £6000 today! ![]() Quote:

I'd say it's a pity you didn't keep it (if you didn't), but 1985 itself was a quarter-century ago and it was probably just a dated and unreliable video recorder at that point, right? |
