It's a Sony SuperBeta (but not the stereo model) missing the control door, only paid 2 bucks for it. Right now it's only one of only two Beta VCRs I have working, out of 7 total. My VHS average is better: 10/14 working. CED players 2/3, TVs 28/39.

A top-loader Panasonic VCR from 1984...that seems to have a belt problem. Worst part is, I can't find the manual for it without paying 22 dollars!

Ended up buying another 80s VCR that doesn't work, a RCA VMT385 (which is Hitachi internally). The Panasonic had a mode switch issue but this RCA must have a broken belt as it doesn't pull the tape out of the cartridge.

I buy about 50 VHS tapes on average a week (sell 1,000-1,200 a year online on Ebay and Amazon donate back others). Of course these include home recorded stuff as well as commercial releases.
Some stuff of note I found recently: -48 Hours and Local Hero recorded off The Movie Channel around 1985 or so, even came with an original Scotch hard shell VHS protective case -3:15, one of my favorite 1980s gang movies (original 1986 Media release, never released on DVD or Bluray) -Scanners (later MGM release) -Tons of other thrillers and erotic thrillers, many of which were never released on DVD/Bluray I really like collecting the older home recorded stuff, the oldest I found recently was from 1981 (NFL game Broncos-Chargers) and found a huge lot of boxing and home recorded made for TV movies from 1979-1985, and all played great no joke! I swear the older blank tapes were built better than the crap that was made post 1990. I used to buy the TDK T160s in bulk in the early 2000s and my Panasonic deck would eat alot of them, but not the older stuff. |
