Just picked up a Zenith VRG-90 4-head VCR

Looks really nice!

Dipping into Goldstar's products was the late 80's beginning of Zenith cutting costs beyond the more expensive products that JVC was able to offer.

It's the same thing RCA & GE did bringing Samsung in about 1988 (models as examples: RCA VPT200, and GE VG7500).

Goldstar made a huge investment into Zenith (giving them a lifeline) in 1991 which was the same time Zenith switched from JVC to Goldstar for VCRs. The Goldstar-Zenith relationship went back to the 70's when Goldstar made a lot of clock radios and stereo equipment for Zenith.
