- In this episode I will demonstrate VCRs of different generations. From huge and reliable cars, they turned into small, cheaper versions. In this episode you will see everything with your own eyes.
I think that if VCRs were still being produced in 2023, most likely their repairability would be at a very low level. Obviously, they could only fulfill the warranty period and then they had to be disposed of, due to the impracticality of repair (most likely a new VCR would cost less than repairing an old one).
My release will feature these VCRs and video cassette players:
LG L428, manufactured in 2004,
Toshiba V-E31R, manufactured in 2003,
Panasonic NV-P04REE, manufactured in 1994
Samsung VK-30R, manufactured in 1993
Hyundai inter-2020, manufactured in 1991
NEC N9034, manufactured in 1987
Philips VR6460, manufactured in 1985 - Věda a technologie
I also have other VCRs. Subscribe to my channel so you don't miss anything!
80's vcr's are my favorite, typically very reliable, and easy to change the belts
in my opinion 2000's are the easiest to change belts
mabye, but from my experience many 80's models just required a few screws@@dendys04
Meu favorito são 1990 e 2010
If you REALLY want to see some quality construction, go back another decade and look at one of the first generation machines from the 1970s. The Panasonic PV-1000 or RCA VBT-200 come to mind. Built like the proverbial brick shithouse, with the tape transport built on a solid diecast metal frame. They weighed about 50 pounds...
I looked at the Panasonic PV-1000 model on the Internet. Looks really cool. It is a pity that such a copy is now difficult to find.
@@technologywins Look for the NV-8600. It's basically the same machine but for the European market. I have one.
My first VCR was made by JVC, back in the late '80s. I got it discounted, because it was ex-display, but it had never been used. It was a great machine because it could play and record on SVHS tapes (better quality than regular VHS). It also had the HQ in and out cable connectors that have a twist-lock mechanism.
My current VCR is from around fifteen years ago. It's tiny compared to my first one. It also has six heads, it records and plays back stereo and it has a direct drive mechanism, meaning there isn't a rubber drive band between the motor and the part that turns the tape reels. It still works perfectly, too!
Thank you for such an interesting comment. I don't have any six-head VCRs in my collection yet. I continue to search for an inexpensive copy. I'll show it on this channel when I have it in stock. I'm also trying to find old VCRs from the 80s. JVCs are expensive, so I don't have them in my collection yet.
NEC... Sweet memories with that VCR
Mine is 100%80 SONY Those heavy 15 kg betamaxes of Sony are very special to me, I buy them wherever I see them, I can't stand them. C5.C7 .T9 F1.ES8080 .C6. SOME OF THESE ARE 5, SOME OF THEM ARE 10, SOME ARE 2 OR 3. I HAVE NOT COUNTED THE VHS, GREETINGS FROM TURKEY⭐️ 💯🇹🇷👍

0:53 holy crap... that's the VCR my parents had (or one very close to it, I don't remember the big "6 SYSTEM" on the front) and which I learned to use in the mid 90s as an 8-10 year old. I've been trying to find one of these NEC VCRs for over a decade but they seem completely nonexistant here in Germany. I still remember it having a metal plate acting as a mirror and a little lightbulb above the tape, so you could see if there was a tape loaded and how much tape was remaining through the transparent door. Must've been before digital tape counters via the control pulse were a thing. I also remember the giant dot matrix section on the VFD that displayed the status icons (play, pause etc)
Thank you for such a detailed comment. I checked this metal plate. You are right, using this mirror is convenient to check how much tape is left. In the next video, I will demonstrate this point in more detail for all viewers.
It would be awesome to either buy or have technicians fix VCRs again
It's hard to find a VCR technician.
@@technologywins you are not lying at all I have a beast of a TV I saved from certain destruction that I would like to restore and modify a Sony Trinitron
I am too crazy about VCR. Those days were the golden era. Watching movies in VCR is what i never forget. I am looking to have one vintage vcr here in Nepal. Unluckily my mom gave the one i have to someone. 😭😭😭
All beautiful 🇧🇷

Crazzy video i still have ours its in the closet somehwere for somereason i think its early 90s HEAVY ONE i think heavyones are reliable ones
They really are reliable. I gave the 1987 device just a little maintenance and it plays and rewinds the tape again.
Are you selling this vcrs? I love them I am electronics freak.
Not for sale. This is for home use
VCRs of the 80s were art pieces, built robustly, and built to last.
VCRs of the 90s were technological marvels with such incredibly advanced features.
VCRs of the 2000s were absolute pieces of junk, built with the cheapest parts available.
Do you know how repair VCR player
I can do simple repairs (replacing belts, cleaning jammed parts, etc.).
That's great but your mode switche in your VCR players is something that you should be looking at more
3:22 they both are Korean mechanism not chinese
👍
This just proves how cheap components get each decade
