On November 22, 2020, the YouTube community lost a great member. Louis-David (Mr. Magnétoscope) uploaded many great videos on his channel, reviewing and demonstrating VCRs. Recently, his family was kind enough to ship some of the VCRs from his collection to others in the YouTube community. In this video I unbox one of two VCRs I received and have some fun with it.

About the VCR: A very unusual head configuration - 3 video heads + Hi-Fi. Manufactured by Hitachi for RCA. Released under the (poorly named) RCA Dimensia series of home A/V components.
