Re: Identify particular JVC video recorder.

Sorry for bumping this old thread but I think I found an example of the VCR I was talking about. At the very least it would give you a precise idea what the unusual buttons were like.

(i still don't know what it's called tho so any help gratefully received!).

Hi, I'm trying to remember a particular model of JVC video recorder that my friends family had back in the day.

This was probably around 1984. It was a toploader and the thing that might identify it was the buttons on the machine itself. The buttons were actually in the shape of their function. So the 'play button' was a big triangle, 'stop' a square, 'record' a circle etc and they were all brightly and differently coloured.

I thought it'd be easy to google but I've found no matches so far. Also (not that it helps but) I could have sworn I saw it in one used in the police rooms of one the Lethal Weapon movies.

Maybe it might ring a bell for someone. Thanks.
