Hi my name is Merrick--I started getting into vintage electronics about a year ago and what I am particularly interested in are old time video camcorders and VCR's. I have been in video production most of my life so I guess this makes sense. While I can definitely appreciate the new look of 4K video, its incredible sharpness, color detail and sense of wonder you get when you watch it on the big screen, I still find myself drawn to that "old time" look you get when watchinig a Hi-8, VHS or SVHS recoding. Maybe it reminds me of my youth? Maybe its because its more like a "painting" than stark reality? Not 100% sure but I have been buying quite a bit on EBAY and find myself having to apply the brakes as this can get to be an expensive hobby for sure! Looking forward to reading the posts and contributing to the group..
Thanks
