[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 117494, member: 175144"] Well, prior to Betamax there was the Philips two tier tape system I had two of these buggers (CMOS ICs and transistors galore inside) , in a shed for nearly twenty years Just thought Id run them through eBay before taking them down the dump, and they sold (both were collected which was nice as they weigh 21kgs each) Even cleaned up one enough to run some tapes through it, lots of episodes of The Sweeney and even the Royal Wedding on one of them. Picture quality was actually better than VHS for ten or so years. [/QUOTE]
