Clearline Concepts Turbowinder Model F40 SF-18 Red Ferrari VHS Rewinder
Open revealing the slot to put the VHS Tape into it.
Then one presses it down to close it. It rewinds the tape .
The yellow lights on the front light up. When done rewinding,
it pops back up ....
The coolest VHS Tape Rewinders are cars !
Definitely an antique now.
I remember when VHS Tapes got started .
It was a great time !
Before that, we were limited to what was on TV. And had no control of the schedule of anything we watched.
If someone was lucky their family had Cable TV.
Which gave us a lot more variety. But we were still bound to
the scheduling of the program times to be able to watch them.
But VHS Tapes gave us the ability to rent and then eventually own copies of movies and series to watch when ever we wanted to !
A vast improvement at the time.
Of course later generations of people don't understand that. With the just about everything on demand streaming platforms 24/7 availability.
So why would we need a VHS Tape Rewinder when we can just rewind the tape with the Video Cassette Recorder or VCR ? Well because rewinding the VHS tapes are the hardest work for the VCR motor. So if one wants their VCR motor to last as long as possible. They need to only play the VHS tapes in the VCR. And rewind them with a separate Rewinder .
And no I am not watching tons of movies on VHS tapes.
But I still rewind them on a rewinder. Because all my VCRs are
also used antiques from then as well. I don't know how much life is left in the VCR motors .
