Here's some more pics of the VKT700. And my other RCA Dimensia VCR, the VPT630HF (1987). I believe RCA also made a third version of the Dimensia VCR, the VPT695HF, which was SVHS, but I don't have that one.

Here's more pics of the sideways loading Zeniths. I have 3 of them: The VR2300 again, the VR3300, and the vertically-oriented VRD530HF (1988). The VRD530HF doesn't work, it's completely dead, probably something wrong with the power supply...

a 1988 Zenith VRD530HF, manufactured by JVC. It was an unusual take on VCR design and as far as I know, nobody else made anything like this. Plus, it and a non-stereo version were the only ones Zenith ever had.

That's the one I need to complete my set of Dimensia VCRs!

I do have a Zenith VRE550HF Actually, I have two of them, but the other one (I think) has a bad head.

From the top down:

Zeniths on the left (all working):
VR3300
VR2300
VRE550HF
VRE510HF
VR4000
VR3000

RCAs on the right (all working but for the proscan which is currently eating tapes)
PSVR61 proscan
VPT630HF dimensia
VMT597
VMT395
VKT700 dimensia

I can't get you a picture of the VRD530HF turned on because it won't turn on I need to figure out what's wrong with the power supply first. Anybody ever have one of those consoles it fits in? They seem even rarer than the VCRs. I've never seen one.

I'll take a better picture of the VRE550HF SVHS turned on when I get some more time later this week.
