VCRs that will last forever

[Jeffhs]

I hope someone here in our forums gets this VCR. It's the first S-VHS machine I've ever seen in my life, and it looks like it just came out of the box for the first time. The low opening bid should help as well.

BTW, a bit OT, I am aware, but this question occurred to me while I was looking at the picture of this S-VHS VCR. What is the difference between standard VHS and S-VHS? My best guess is that S-VHS was capable of greater resolution than straight VHS. It looks to me as if the S-VHS VCR uses smaller cassettes than ordinary VHS machines as well, and if that isn't enough, the S-VHS recorder looks a lot smaller than most VHS units.
