I can't believe this! This was one of my fav commericials. I never thought I would see it again. You're awesome for uploading this.

Thanks.

In 1978 a Sony VHS Recorder cost $900.00 dollars and a RCA SelectaVision VHS Recorder cost $750.00 dollars!

[TerryT1976]

Yikes! I can believe that!

[LovesMike33]

Wow you can buy a Nice 32" flat screen for around the same price as that Tv you can get at a yard sale for 5$. DVD players don't even cost as much as that VCR. BTW was that VHS or Beta? LOL

[TerryT1976]

It was a VHS!

[MrSExperience]

wow, electronics were crazy expensive back then

[TheKevincodero]

I miss you Gemco.

[MADDOG6400]

And I though BluRay players were a lot..

[stankfoot2006]

Did anyone pay attention to the price of the VCR? wow, those things are $30 now if that..

Remember the Gemco in Lancaster, Ca..... Miss it, shopped there all of the time. They remodeled it and then went out of business months later. Toys r us sit in there noe

Remote control was optional back then??

I remember when my grandparents bought the family's first VCR at Gemco lol. It was top loader and it was huge. Love that old Gemco candy store smell too.

[GreatGarloo]

I remember those old vcr's, big & heavy as a brick! Ah, Gemco bought out by Target.

The old Gemco by me is now a Target. Opened in 1986. Wow, that store is now 24 years old!

Santa was pretty ahead of his times there with that computer.
