My first VHS VCR cost me $1,500 in 1979. Blank tapes went for about $10-15! Professionally made pre-records were even more expensive. Public domain titles $30 or so. 20 year old films (as an example) $49-69. Newer films $79-90 ($120 for Star Wars when it first hit video.

STAY AWESOME! :)

After much research, my dad invested in a Betamax. Go ahead and laugh but the thing still works...sorta.

@asseertedwolf I agree, It takes High Definition or Blu-ray, to get the quality that tvs had in the 70s. I have had Many of tvs from that Era, and the picture was Superb. Unless a show is broadcast in HD, the picture quality on these new Plasmas or crap, and even in HD , they are no better than the tvs from the 70s and 80s

@Dreambro1 Digital ..a god's gift....BlueRay beats analog into bits. As for Digital sound..a good equalizer is necessary,and will solve most problems. My digital collection beats my vinyl stack hands down.

Anyway, if stubborn...one can always get the best of both worlds,and use a tube amplifier.

@FHCTech At the Very least! I've had to scavenge a lot of tape in the last few years for irreplaceable material, I know better. The Analog audio people can get silly, but the superiority of "analog Video"? That is asinine even for YouTube.

Don't bother reasoning with people like Dreambro1...you can show them all the facts in the world and they'll still cling desperately to their inferior devices.

Apparently this person has forgotten every stuck tape, stretched film, visual/audio static event, and has really poor eyesight and hearing....

@Dreambro1 I HAD this VCR when it was NEW! If you think analog video was better than digital video go read about how few scan lines that VCR had. Not going to go into the audio argument, but that machine set to four hour speed gave you blurry, fuzzy video you wound he horrified at today.

@Dreambro1 I've seen some pretty badly made analogue stuff as well. If you buy cheap, you get crap, whether digital or analogue. How many cheaper VCRs had tracking errors or had rubber bits that perished early? Or had clapped out heads after just a few years?
