What was your LAST VHS purchase??

[zenith2134]

Sweet haul. I am still running VHS roughly 25% of the time at home. Have many worthwhile machines that of course need regular use to stay healthy. My favorite daily player at this point is the Toshiba M-5900. I use it
in my B-T home transmitter rig.

This is a mid eighties 4 head hifi stereo that is built the way they all ought to be. Just have to watch for the display going weak over the years, and the high heat regulator+associated caps which get toasty.

My latest videotape purchase was a sealed original Alien

At this point, I pretty much buy every vcr I come across due to them not being made anymore. Most of them run me about $5 each. I plan on ordering a couple nice ones later on.

This years haul so far…

JVC HR-S2910U & HR-S3911U (with remote) both SVHS
Panasonic PV-S8670 (with remote) SVHS
Sony SLO-323 industrial Betamax
Hitachi VT-8000A VHS
Canon VR-40 VHS HIFI portable with VT-50 tuner/timer dock (clone of Panasonic PV-9600)
JVC HR-6700U VHS

The HR-6700U was acquired from the original owner with original box (with styrofoam), remote (with blue plastic still on it), instruction manual, both quick reference cards, and a service manual ! This vcr was on my wish list for quite a while and to have a complete one like this is just awesome. Of course it’s full of bad belts, and the drum seems stiff to turn, I hope it can be freed up somehow. Cosmetically, it is in excellent shape, and very clean. I’m going to restore this one best I can.
This was JVC’s first EP capable VHS vcr (would play LP tapes), and the last of their “first generation”, mechanical “piano key” VHS machines. It was JVC’s top of the line VHS vcr from late 1979 to about 1981. It cost around $1300 Cdn. back then.

For VHS movies:

Escape from New York
Bladerunner Directors Cut
Star Wars box set of A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi
A Christmas Carol (The good one with Alistair Sim)
The Who 1982 North American tour (recorded in Toronto)
Five blank TDK T120s new old stock

Very nice.......How is the who tour??

Did they leave it analogue?? (1982 so maybe)

Regarding the blank VHS tapes: I was looking through my blanks to discover that I have a number of them on hand. I bought a number of them at thrifts, when they still handled them.
I'm using them to record the court proceedings going on in Wisconsin.

I haven't checked it yet. Not sure how it is.

I have so many movies recorded on VHS (which I still watch) it would take a long time to digitize. Whenever I was in a Good Will store, I would buy only low mileage VHS machines for five dollars each. I do not see any VHS decks anymore. I have 6-8 spare units to ensure I will always have something to play these tapes on. When a deck goes down, I will fix the minor issues and toss the ones with serious issues. After 35 years in the business, I don't have the time or patience to fix these anymore.
