I got 4 RCA VBT-200s from 1977-78 and my VBT-200 from 10/23/77 works just like it did 30 years ago when I was trying to copy a Macrovision-coded tape for a friend of mine and I had failed to get good playback on the newer VCRs, but the copy had good playback on the VBT-200 as well as my 1982 Panasonic Omni-Vision. I also got a few 1984-86 Sony Betamaxes that play pretty good with my large 1500+ collection of Beta tapes which date from the original 1975-76 K-60s, yes, w/1970's TV shows with the original 1970's commercials on them to the latest 1990's L-750s. I also got these 1970's Betamaxes-
4 Sony SL-7200s-1 is new in the original box!
4 Sony SL-8200s-1 is new in the original box!
4 RARE Sony BII-Only SL-8600s-1 is new in the original box!
1 1977 Zenith Betamaz-like the SL-8200
1 other 1970's Betamax
My parents still have their original 1988 RCA VHS VCR they got as a Christmas present in 1988-just the remote is long gone though. It didn't really have the best picture for recording in EP/SLP speed, but it was a pretty good machine. It's at my grandmother's in Kirkland Lake now.
I also have, yes, both an NES and a Super Nintendo and LOVE the Mario Bros. games and Tetris:-)
Also, I am looking for any 1970's, 1980's and 1990's Beta and VHS tapes that have old commercials on them too that people may also want to get rid of for my trading and collecting hobby too-please and thanks.
Those new VCRs as everyone just about says here sure don't last and don't compare to the older VCRs at all.
