GE VG4055 VCR Mode Switch and general cleaning

This one came out of the smoke house and I have a buyer for it. General maintenance to make sure it works.

Smoke house special...nice. Seems you started learning early, good thing. I was a DJ at a local FM station when in high school, had some cool equipment to play with but was mostly just busy work. Teletype ran non stop it seems, news hour/advertising was a PITA.

I never really wanted to do this. It was one of the dumber things I did. It was a hobby, and I learned allot building things, but I should have perused the broadcast role, or at least when I was working for the community TV station accepted the offer by the owner to go work for the cable TV side of the business. I was 19 and dumb as a box of hammers. I had made up my mind that TV production was what I wanted to do and when that didn't pan out I had a unionized job offer and I said no (I was pissed off at the cable station for firing me for removing a stuck tape under the direction of my boss whom proceeded to throw me under the bus with a knife sticking out of my back) The cable co owner said he could not offer me a job at the station I had been working at as an intern, but he would offer me a job on the cable TV side of the business assembling a component they made in house called the directional tap. The company was a pioneer in cable TV, and was actually one of if not the first licensed cable TV operator in Canada when they launched in 1966. It started in my neighborhood. We were the first to have a 12 channel cable tv system. Had I said yes I would have done my entire career with them and been retried by now. But I was determined to go into TV and it was an impossible industry to get into unless you go to a little town up north. The repair gig came along and then I started my own video production business. That is where I made money, not fixing TVs and VCRs.

I noticed the VCRs are in reverse but didn't think enough to comment. What was weirding me out was all the intros you stopped talking over.

[@12voltvids]

Just didn't bother on a few
