I rather like old formats, and to be frank the vhd player looks better built than the vcd player given it’s gears instead of belts. Certainly looks a lot more reliable, then again it uses a different method to look. At what is on the disc.
I have to wonder what might have been if rca had gone this route and, keep in mind they started research in 69, managed to get to market by 75 or even 76 in time for the bicentennial.
