How quaint!

3. Wow, back before camcorders.

You had to have a separate VTR connected up to the camera.

I imagine the battery life on that thing had to be at the most one hour.

[Bassic]

5. Oh man, 900$ for a vcr

I remember seeing stuff like that back then.

11. Today, they're practically givin' 'em away!

:wow:

[Bassic]

12. If you can even find one, yeah.

It's funny.

[XemaSab]

15. No shit!

Hey, at least it's VHS! :P

[Bassic]

18. Well back then there would still have been time to rescue the Beta ones.

VHS took the market, but Beta offered much better quality.

He had to support that coke addiction somehow :rofl:

9. Interesting

Thanks for posting.

I remember some of the stuff, but not all of it. I turned 14 at the end of 1970, so probably didn't notice what most of the adults were wearing, and was too big for the kids stuff in there. Nobody in our house wore flannel underwear (under co-ed)... I remember people having those down winter jacket-vests with no sleeves on them.

I do remember the Nike sneakers, which was back prior to the days of Air Jordan.

10. Thanks for that!

Ah... nostalgia...
