Let's see.... I'd have to say a JVC HR-3300 still in the box with all the factory toys, and a Mitsubishi re-badge of the same model. Both are 1976 first-gen VHS but are oddly much smaller than my 1977 RCA VBT-200 (rebadged Panasonic PV-1100 I think?). I think I might have a VCT-400 around here too. For the Beta side I have an SL-7200, an SL-8200, and an SL-8600. I was offered a perfect LV-1901 for free but had to turn it down due to space constraints. Geez I need to thin out the herd as it is!

1977 probably PV-1000. Panasonic's 1st VHS VCR too. Had a separate head amp board behind the head drum. Next PV-1100 had the head amp down on the bottom swing-out video board and the picture wasn't as good.

I held out buying a VCR for awhile, so my first one was a Panasonic stereo VHS with Dolby B noise reduction and varactor tuning.

Sounds like the PV-1780 I bought in late 1982, pre-hifi, linear stereo with Dolby noise reduction, mono tuner. Used it mostly to record stereo off of cable with stereo simulcast on FM.

I thought mine had a stereo tuner. I remember hearing MTV in stereo thru it. It had fairly decent audio on the linear tracks @ SP speed.

If it was made before 1984 it had a mono tuner. They had not settled on a MTS standard for the US yet.

Probably post '84. I remember Joe Jackson's "Stepping Out" and Billy Joel's "Allentown" being popular music videos at the time.

Was unfortunate timing the Panasonic PV-1730 that came out in '83 which was loaded with features, had a die-cast chassis, direct drive reels, hi-fi stereo, AND stereo linear audio with Dolby for backward compatibility with older non-hi-fi linear stereo tapes, but missed getting a stereo tuner by a year.

This is my oldest VCR I have owned, I like this one because it was simple to use and setup.
Panasonic and RCA were the same machine, back then. It needs a belt to run the number counter, the VCR will not work without it. Were is a good place that sells belts for the older VCR's? |

I've used Studio Sound Electronics - they have a good catalog and I've been happy with their service.
