The History of video tape recorders

Richard writes – “Find out where that VCR in your living room came from. Read about video hardware that has been extinct a very long time. At LabGuy’s World, you can tour the virtual museum, flip through the catalog of extinct video recorders and cameras, browse the timeline of video recording history, figure out how to hook up that gnarly antique you just got in a yard sale AND much, much more! “ [via] – Link.
