What was your LAST VHS purchase??

[Dude111]

Why is it the LAST on you will purchase??

Today I got: Airport - (1970) This was a 1992 release by MCA/Universal .. Most movies MCA/Universal transferred to VHS starting in 1991 were digitally recorded to the tape,THIS ONE IS NOT.. It has the original MCA HOME VIDEO master on it so I am hopefull its the original analogue master that THAT MOVIE was filmed in....


EDIT:

I got rid of the tape... Wasnt the original. Had letterbox all over it @ different parts.. (Only watched about 10 mins)

Ill try again and see if I can find an earlier copy that hasnt been ruined...

The later Pan/Scan releases of Airport zoomed out to letterbox at certain parts to account for the split screen effect. I think only the original 1980 MCA videocassette release eliminates the split screen to fill the entire frame.

I picked up a VHS tape at a thrift. Don't remember the name, but it was a demo tape. Every 10 minuites or so, it flashed on the screen, demo tape only, not to be sold or rented.

Machine: Mitsubishi deck purchased from Magnolia Hi Fi (before the Best Buy era) in 1998. Bought the extended warranty, and it went out 1.5 years in. The replacement has been going since. It has the old VCR+ function. Still use it to record shows off cable. Too cheap to pay DVR rental. it gets 10 - 15 hrs a week of use between record and playback.

Tape: "Greatest Story Ever Told" 2 tape set, and "Stalag 17", both from same thrift, 50 cents a piece, IIRC, about 2 years ago.
