The old Funais were actually very reliable and durable by 1,000% difference from the 90s and today.

Have you ever seen one of the Technicolor portable VCRs made by Funai? I think they are even older than this player. Here is a page with a description:

Yes, I saw this about 8 times now that were listed on eBay. It's indeed older than Funai's first VHS player, and even more durable (sigh, the VP-1500 was better) . But Funai's very-first own marketed product was the VP-1500.
