Our friend Jeff in Akron, OH emailed us with this brag–a very rare Technicolor 212 compact video cassette recorder. Manufactured in the early ’80s Technicolor presented this unusual video format, utilizing a cassette only slightly larger than an audio cassette. Sadly, this compact format failed –perhaps if it were released ten years earlier, who knows? Jeff owns two of these machines, one is working as well as documentation and cassettes.
UPDATE: Several folks have emailed asking for someone with a working unit. They have home videos they want transferred. Can someone help?
Where you able to find someone to transfer the CVC tapes to digital? If so, please give me some leads.
Thanks, Jack
Mine should work but I would be concerned that old tapes might fall apart & jamb the machine. I have the recorder, some tapes, a very old battery & a camera. I wonder if they have any value?
hi im in same situation I have a working machine with some few tapes of my family… but unsure If i want to keep using the unit…
if you want to sell it I can buy it … but it must be in working condition… thanks!
