![]() ![]() So, does the thing work or not? The world may never know.Īlso, there’s microphone inputs and it only records in SP or LP. The two “out” jacks were colored black, which I don’t have cords for, and I couldn’t get a pic to show up with my regular RCA cords. And this thing has A/V jacks, which frankly, I had no idea were being used as early as ’79. Hell, I’d probably have paid the full $20 either way just because I like this thing so much.Īs you can see from the screenshot above, I did eventually get the damn thing to open, and believe it or not, it loads, plays, rewinds and fast forwards without mauling the tape ( Napoleon Dynomite on VHS lives to see another day!). So, I got it for $10, a price I’m perfectly happy with. So, while it powered up, I couldn’t really tell if the thing worked at all or not. The pricetag said $20, which I would have had no problem paying, except I couldn’t get the top-loader to pop up. Look, I’m no muscleman, but I’m also not a weakling, but trust me when I say this thing heavy as hell. I actually have an RCA VBT-200, the very first VHS VCR released in the U.S., from 1977, and it is, of course, of similar mighty heft (the VBT-200, however, has the manual tuner knobs on the front, a charming feature of the earliest VHS players, whereas this unit, sadly, does not). There’s no date on it, but apparently it hails from 1979. Obviously, it was, in the exact spot I left it, probably because it weighs roughly a thousand pounds. ![]() Electronics like this don’t move very fast there, so I figured there was a better than good chance it would still be there today. I actually found it at a little thrift shop a bit over a month ago, but I didn’t think I had enough money on me to purchase it right then.
