Just picked up a Panasonic built Curtis Mathes mono VCR for the sum of $2.35 at a thrift shop. It was built in Jan. 1987. Clean and well cared for. Works fairly well. BTW, does any one remember how to change the time constant in horiz. AFC in the earlier tv sets to minimize "flag waving". Zenith sold a special 9-57 module for the sets that used it. They sold it as a VCR-57. It was a 9-90-02 sistered to a 9-57 empty board.

Love that Moe Howard haircut!
If he's in Finland why are all the decks labeled in English? Last edited by Eric H; 10-24-2010 at 06:15 PM. |

Flagging is also caused by improper back tension in the VCR. You might experiment with adjusting the tension, unless you have a torque meter tape and can check it. I would say that ANY VCR more than a few years old needs the back tension adjusted.

I believe most Japanese electronics are labeled in English for all export models, and domestic models too. I have a Japanese market only Laserdisc player..all labeled in English, but you can invoke Japanese on-screen displays from the remote.

Goes to show that even your standard mass produced VHS machine can become a collectors item once being deemed obsolete with the introduction of DVD players/recorders. I see so many of these VCRs on the street so if he were over here during garbage season he would have a field day!!! I dig his collection, he has built up an excellent collection of these VHS machines.
I myself take preference these days to record everything in top notch quality on DVD recorders as picture quality comes first for me with archiving programs but I will still use an 80s National NV-180 portable VHS when doing remote shots with my vintage video cameras. I have to say it's amazing how long VHS has lasted on the market, been around since 1976 and you can still buy them to this very day!!! That collector so reminds me of Dr Evil from Austin Powers with his accent and even looks a bit like him but with a Moe Howard bowl cut hairdo.
