80s Sci Fi

Yes a high point, I rented a lot. Saw loads, even got a fully loaded VCR with HiFi sound (cost me £800 as well, from Sony, best 1/2" domestic VCR in UK).

However I did rent them all in Beta, most transfers were pretty good as most were duplicated rather than printed.

Remember takling a portable VCR and Robocop to a film night and making one lad sick as he was very squeamish.

Yes some tapes were magnetically contact printed.

The Icon, I prefer the first film, first saw rented at home.
