One odd thing about the 1985 Fisher FVH830 VCR I used in my Macrovision video: it has a "tape select" switch with positions marked "~T60" and "T80~". The manual just says to set it to the length of tape you're using, and gives no further explanation. I guess the squigglies are supposed to mean "T60 or shorter" and "T80 or longer", but who was using tapes that short, anyway? I thought T120 tape was already the norm long before then. And why would it matter?

@vwestlife I think they were paving the way of low cost, mailable, 10-15 VHS tapes 😀
