My Dad bought one when they first came out, it was an excellent machine, solidly engineered and simple to use. It kept going for years but in the end it was replaced as the 'video rental shops' (remember them?) did not carry any movies in that format. It was way much better for recording TV programmes than the VHS that replaced it and it had double sided tapes too.
