I would be grateful if you could list specific makes and models

I'm not at home to read the model number right now, but my first VCR (an economy model Sharp my parents bought new for my birthday in the mid 90s definitely has all 3 recording speeds (and I used all 3 speeds for time shifting/archiving with it). I only switched to DVD time shifting in 2012 so it's still fairly fresh memory. I believe my Sharp S-VHS deck (bought it used after 2012 because the other Sharp was so reliable) also has it.
