My first VCR was the Quasar Great Time Machine (VT-1000 I believe) purchased in ’79 for $100.00. At that time a 2 hour tape was $27.00. Later that year a bought a Sony AV-3600 VTR for $40.00. I did sell the Quasar for $200.00 with a B/W camera in ’81. I did not get my first Beta until ’84 a Sony SLO-260 for $20.00 new belts, clean the switches and pots it was good to go. That Sony lasted me 10 years. My first VHS was a Panasonic NV-8200. It was a good machine as VHS goes. Over the years I have had many VTRs from ¼” to 1” machines. I don’t have much use for recording machines anymore so my Sony GCS-50 works great with my HDTV tuner and plays all the tapes I made back in the hay day of MTV. Doogie
