Here’s a clip from the 1970s showing an electronics store selling televisions and video cassette players, or VCRs.
Begins with a black man wearing a suit who is looking at a VCR that’s for sale. Beside him is a wall of televisions on display.
The camera focuses on two VCRs and a video timer. The timer is labeled “SANYO VTG8 LED DIGITAL VIDEO TIMER.”
The camera pans across the wall of TVs.
The black man is still looking at the same VCR, as if he’s ready to make a purchase.
A SONY VCR sits on a display counter. A sign on the VCR reads “Betamax Videocassette Recorder.”
Two boxes are stacked on the showroom floor. Each box is labeled “RCA Video Cassette RECORDER VBT200.”
Other boxes in the showroom read “SONY SL-8200” and “QUASAR VIDEO RECORDER VR 1000.”
There is a wide shot of the electronics showroom. In addition to a wall of televisions on display, there are boxes of TVs and VCRs — stacked even higher than the wall of televisions. A man with a beard and wearing a tie speaks to a customer.
Another salesman with glasses and wearing a green tie points to two different televisions as a customer looks on.
