Tell me more...
I am an international expert on early video recorders*, but I've never heard of one which rewinds and continues recording! Can you remember anything about it: make, model etc? Was it perhaps a "security" one, designed for CCTV?



* sadly this is true

It was purchased in 1994
It wasn't a brand I'd ever actually heard of or can recall, but then again that's representative of most of the electronic equipment my parents purchased, who seemed averse to buying anything more recognisable than Kenwood, unless it was a kitchen appliance, then they'd go lower down the food chain. Definitely not a security recorder, I've a fair bit of experience of them myself.

It was dark grey with a squiggle of yellowish text along the fascia, although that may have been nicotine staining. It had an LED display that was sans backlight and was purchased from a small privately owned shop that mainly refurbished TVs and fitted aerials. The remote control, although functional, did not match the one inside the manual or even look remotely like the VCR itself. Despite the above, it wasn't an Amstrad. :-)
