RCA not Y2K

[jstout66]

Ya.. I guess it's something I never thought of. RCA probably didn't think this was going to be in service 21 years later, so it was probably a non-issue.
Interesting story on this, that I commented on in another thread, but the reason it went back into into service was because the POS Magnavox combo unit my Aunt bought, broke in 1 day. She only tapes one show. So I told her I would set her to just take it back and I would set her up with a deck to use. I have better ones, but she's kinda dippy when it comes to setting the timer, and RCA I think had the most user friendly program guide out of any deck. I tell ya tho.. the RCA was reluctant to operate after being stored for 10 years. Fow awhile it wouldn't take a tape, but finally that got unstuck, so hopefully all is well.
