Video cassette players/recorders(VCR).


Heavy machines.

My dad placed his in the room and connected a device(sender) transmitting the vids to the sitting room and to some neighbors.

You can also get other people's movie on your tv while tunning.

Upper loaders.

The heaviest of them all.

Wooden coloured tv.

Price of a VCR decades ago.

Inside a VCR


Seeing forbidden movies and there's light out, you have to run to the nearest electronic repairer to remove the tape before mum/dad comes back from work.

Head cleaner.

One can also uncover the player and clean with cotton wool/spirit.

You can also use the tip of the nail while still playing.

Electronic Rewinder with melody/tune.

Came in the 80s before the manual rewinder mid - late 90s.

Video sender.

Connect to video players and send vid to other rooms or neighbors.

If it gets dirty, we loose the video play and clean with a neat white cloth (for those of us that couldn't get a video head cleaner).

We all have that Video Cassette that acts as "Head Cleaner" whenever the Video player is "Dirty"




Mine was DELTA FORCE






We also have Hand/Manual Rewinder

Ah! Explorers be taking us on a trip down nostalgia lane. You have not known frustration and rage until you use spoon, yes spoon, to rewind a video cassette. Only to come back and discover your siblings have watched the movie and left the cassette like that. At that moment, nothing is more painful.


BTW, if you had a room like the one below as a young man, you were the real MVP

Who else here didn't have the opportunity to use those Video players
