TVs with VCRs
We’ve never personally owned a TV with a built-in VCR since our parents already had a VCR player. However, we always felt a bit envious of our friends and people on TV who did. If you couldn’t afford a large screen TV, which was like $5,000 and weighed two tons, then the next best thing was to get one of these bad boys.
These combo TV units were the best things to happen to affordable TV technology for roughly 20 years before they went the way of the dinosaurs. Now, nobody manufactures or uses VHS, so there was no reason to keep these things at home.
