It's #TechTuesday, and VHS fans, get ready to swoon. 📼😍 This RCA VBT200 was the very first VHS VCR sold in the U.S. Released in late 1977, it weighed nearly 40 pounds and cost as much as a used car. We appreciate Lunchmeat VHS for sharing this analog beast with us. What's the first tape you'd pop in? | RCA

Most of these need motor mounts and one or more of the connector rod grommets. I think this is the last one we serviced before I took a break, and I don't remember it giving me any real troubl other than some attention to the trip pusher thingy. #turntable #victor #mcm #devo #MTV | Vintage Record Changer & Turntable Repair | Facebook
