National VCR Day is observed annually on June 7th. Do you still own a VCR player or do you know someone who does? Many young people do not know what a VCR player or a VCR tape is. National VCR Day is dedicated to the video cassette recorder (VCR). In their time, they were a marvel of technology!

The video cassette recorder is an electro-mechanical device that records analog audio and analog video from television on a removable, magnetic tape videocassette. The images and sound can then be played back at a more convenient time. At the time, the VCR was the main way to watch movies at home, and one could create their own personal movie library.

The first video cassette recorder was introduced in 1956. The home video cassette format (VCR) was developed in 1970.

The birth of VCR mass market success boomed in the mid-1970s and continued throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

It was kinda crazy with those things! I went to a yard sale and there was a VCR on the free pile. It was there with the proper remote and the instruction manual. The man running the sale said, "You looked at it, now you have to take it." As it turned out, the thing was in perfect condition and worked like a champ. At this moment, I can't tell you how many of these things I have. Lost count!
Lately, there hasn't been too many at the thrifts or the yard sales. :scratch2:
