When Did Everyone Get Their First VHS/Betamax Player?

[MIPS]

I had a Zenith or something like that in 2003. It worked fine even though it was mono until I bought the SL-2700 in 2005 and used it until 2008 when the loading gear broke and it's been sitting in an unuseable state ever since.

Got my first VHS in 2003 as well. Slowly upgraded various off-brand models until I was at the Sony deck I have now.
