The last-ever Japanese VCRs will be made this month

Quote:
It may surprise you to learn that Japanese companies are still making video cassette recorders, but this fact won't remain useful for too long — manufacturing will cease at the end of the month. Funai Electric, a company that produces its own consumer electronics as well as handling production for other, larger companies, is the only remaining Japanese manufacturer of VCRs, but Nikkei reports it'll close down the lines by August.

if I tell my neighbour he'll be out there buying them, he still buys them (VCRs not videos) now and again from cash converters!

You can still get blank 3hr VHR tapes in poundland for (ermm) a pound.
