Do you know who made these for GE and is it a good VCR ?

Thanks. Snade
This one was made by Panasonic. All GE (General Electric) VCRs made from 1983 to 1994 were made by Panasonic. Rewind is definitely a lot slower than the 1991 Panasonic VCR, which is the first year of the X-Chassis, but if it is really slow, it may be a loose capstan belt.
