Todays #TVTat No 1
Quiet day at AVAV Towers, brace for a stream of TV related #OldTat
Decided to get cracking with Digitising piles of MTV, VH1, BSB Power Station, MCM EuroMusique VHS Tapes
It may not look like it by todays standards, VHS, on decent deck, viewed on CRT looks ok
Its all we had

A quartet of V2000 Pre-Recorded, Pre-Cert Video Tapes.
Buddy picked em up at a Car Boot Sale
If you’ve never heard of Video 2000, it was a European thing. Developed by Philips, it offered superb Trick Play, Freeze Frame etc
It was unique as you could turn the tape over & record on the other side. Like Audio Cassettes.
