I think that VCR is a genuine VBT-200 RCA, the first model of VHS VCR they (RCA) sold. It was a specially-built Matsushita PV-1100 clone, to RCA's specs. It had SP and LP speeds, to give it a leg up on the only other VHS VCR at the time -- the JVC HR-3300, SP 2-hr mode only. I have one built in August 1977 an another built November of 1977. At thet time, Betamax X2 mode was still a year or two away, so they were stuck with X1 mode. VHS had the longer time, even in SP mode.
