Haha. Yeah, my brother bought a tape rewinder. We got the old VCR for our tiny TV in the basement. That one had a button to enable/disable Hi-Fi.
 
Yup...I was given like three one year as a kid for Christmas from family members. Kinda funny considering that the only VCRs I had were ones I found in the trash and taught myself how to fix from some library books. Weren't these things to save on VCR wear and tear?

Thats what they claimed. Never proven.
BUT, they did save time. You could rewind one while watching another. Good for movie night, or entertaining kids on crack.
 
I remember going over to my brother in laws house and he would jump up out of his chair if you would try to rewind a movie. "You're going to wear out the mechanism- use the rewinder!"

my friend said the same crap then his house burned down with vhs and all.
 
Had one of those. My VHS still bit the dust. They all start eating tapes eventually. Still, the rewinder I had was a lot faster than the VCR.

In a professional setting, you just use the VTR to rewind it. You'll never see one of those things in a TV studio. Yep, a lot of places still use DVCAM tapes. Cheap and plentiful, unlike P2 and SxS cards which are quite expensive.
 
Had one. A normal looking one so that we could pull the tape for a rental when we were done with it and start watching another one.

Remember when video stores started tacking on an extra $1 to your account if you brought back a video that wasn't rewound?
