GE 1VCR6004X Video cassette recorder

This is about the first production VCR with front loading mechanism. Previously, they were top loading and ejection was mainly mechanical. This type requires a driving motor and guire mechanical to direct out the cassette to the front. Most, if not all VCR from that year were made with front loading mechanism. This model is from General Electric but in reality, Matsushita made the mechanic (and maybe The whole unit). Even if the video resolution was of medium quality as they were 2 heads, they were reliable. This unit is still working. It is Pre-HQ so it could dub cassettes without any decoders.
