I have over 1500 Betamax tapes 1976-1990's and about 14 early 1976-78 Betamax VCRs along with 4 RCA VBT 200 VHS VCRS from 1977-78 with over 2000 VHS tapes as well:-) Yep, also got an RCA CED video disc player I trash picked in about 2001 with about 4 or 5 CED video discs. There's always something good on Selectavision:-)
I found several B&W 12-inch portable TVs in the trash from 1973-about 81-82 and they all pretty well work:-) These were mainly used as kitchen ,bedroom and camper or cottage TVs back in the 1970's and 1980's.
That picture with the 1986 Curtis Mathes w/Grantley looks like it was taken in about 1987ish just by the way the sunlight is and the older circa early 1950's red brick bungalow in the background-reminds me of my childhood when I was a kid in the 1980's:-) They sure don't make TVs like they used to-I just wonder how many TVs made today will still be around in 25-30 years still working. All this Made In China junk will just be in the landfill in 10 years anyway. I also have a 1986 Made In Japan Betamax that still works no problem that I watch my good qaulity Betamax tapes on. Beta always had a better picture than VHS. I'll bet this very computer I'm typing this on won't be around in another 10 years either. I really wish TVs and electronics in general wound be made in the USA and Canada again.
Cheers from Electrohome:-)
