@squirrel oh shiiit i think that vcr actually may actually be from around the same time as my parent's first 20" Toshiba FST Blackstripe TV
the remote designs are remarkably similar
@squirrel we had it til about 1999, surprisingly
still a big fan of the design https://icosahedron.website/media/pCxeMXtTvJQ_tSv2210
@colon_three sadly it went up in a ball of smoke over a decade ago
@squirrel yeah i don't think ours lasted past the year 2000
