Let's be Realistic (Explored)
Some Radio Shack memorabilia as well with today's uploads. I have some A&P memorabilia as well stashed away that I need to photograph and upload some day, some of which dates back to the late 50's. Anyway, this is a Radio Shack Realistic brand VCR that I recently acquired. Realistic was the brand name Radio Shack used for gadgets such as CB Radios, 8 track players, VCR and Betamax players, and other things of that nature over the years. The brand was first introduced in 1954, and gradually discontinued in the 90's. Doing some research, this VCR dates back to 1985. This would have been a very expensive piece of equipment back then, costing a few hundred dollars (now you can get these things for a few dollars at a thrift store). Unfortunately, this VCR ate both the tapes I tried putting in it, both times requiring me to open the top up and carefully untangle the tape without breaking it.
