In todays video, we take a look at the first of two identical V2000 format VCRs, the PYE 20VR22. The 20VR22 is very similar to the Philips badges VR2020 and shares broadly the same mechanicals and features. A list price of £550, in 1981, placed the machine at a competitive level, when compared to equivalent VHS and Betamax decks. A quirk of the earlier decks, is that they are badged as 'VCR', with no V2000 logos, present, despite the format being very different and incompatible with the earlier 3/4 inch VCR format.
