In my younger days I worked in Rumbelows(yes, really) so I had a chance to eye up these new recorders, to me the V2000 seemed too plastic/flimsy compared to early vhs or the superb sony Betamax with that tank-like build quality, I seem to remember you got a demo tape in the V2000 box with Dennis Norden showing it's features, but vhs killed all before it, even tho Betamax had a better p.q. (even thru pre scart co-ax days) but the flood of vhs tapes in shops proved conclusive.
