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. 38 Likes 5 Shares

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 113 Likes 9 Shares
