There was the Philips VCR format introduced in 1972, the N1500, first 1/2" home vcr using cassettes. Available mainly in UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand (where my wife is from and her family was familiar with this format) but was actually available in North America (Norelco in USA) as Philips N1481. It was only available for about a year in the early '70s and very, very rare to find here today. I was watching a Philips N1481 on the 'bay a few years back and it sold for $450 CDN ( way more than I wanted to spend) in unverified working order, so someone REALLY wanted it...
