[1944johndeerel]

[raymondleeleggs]

I was like a year old then LOL

"but they are in my parents' attic..."

...and I'm sure they're so thrilled. :-)

Sorry, couldn't resist--I still have crap at my parent's house as well. It's an affliction with all of us, isn't it?

[retrochad]

When I moved to Texas I really only could take what fit in my Grand Marquis...there are still some things there I need to bring home.

This is one year after I graduated high school.

You've changed a bit Chad!

Haven't we all though, lol.

[retrochad]

I'm still the same on the inside although I have learned plenty of lessons along the way! Wish I looked more the same on the outside too!

I missed the 90's. I have a home video from 1990 with my me and my brother's birthday party and new years eve of 1990. I was 4 back then.

Gotta love that camera! Is this in Ohio? Cool fans!

[retrochad]

Thanks! Yes, this is in Ohio. We still have that camera in my parents' game room but I think it has got bad capacitors as it doesn't work right anymore.

[rulebritannia1991]

Was it beta or VHS? Its amazingly big compared to my sony dvd handycam. I remember my dad got a Sony 8mm cassette camera when I was born in '91. It was one of the smallest they offered then, and it still measured about 12.5 inches long and 6 inches tall! These old cameras had great quality pictures though!

[retrochad]

This was a full-sized VHS...it was a Sears brand "Series LXI" which we got at the Randall Park Mall in Cleveland. Before my parents bought it we used to rent a VHS camera from the video store and we filmed 8mm sound movies before that.

[rulebritannia1991]

Wow, small world, I work at Sears at Great Northern selling electronics. Of course now we sell Hard Drive and DVD handy cams, however we still carry MiniDV camcorders and VHS tapes!

[vwestlife]

I borrowed a similar Series LXI full-size VHS camcorder from a friend's parents to do a high school video project in 1997. Unfortunately I didn't keep a copy of that video for myself!

The video and sound quality of this camera you used seems to be really good! I was almost able to get a 1982 video camera from my high school. It used a separate VCR that comes with it.
