I've decided to part with our 1980s (1981?) family VCR.

I know this site has some antique VCR collector. Here's your chance.

- This is the MONTGOMERY WARD GEN-10521 -- probably RCA SelectaVision VET205 clone (looks similar)
- Has both coax and the screw-in F type connector, both in and out (back)
- Has mono RCA audio and composite video, both in and out (front)
- Dials for UHF and VHF
- SP, LP and SLP, recording and playback
- Top loading
- True manual tracking
- Does not understand copy protection, ignores it
- Works!

It was used in the 80s, then retired to the closet for a better VCR (HiFi, remote, etc). I pulled it back out around 1997. Every couple of years, it was useful to play unusually stubborn tapes. When I began capturing a few years later, it was used to transfer some stubborn tapes, especially LP. At the time, Panasonic AG-1980P decks were still $1k, so not yet an owner. Every few years, I'd pull it out. It played tapes when last used.

It's been in an inside closet (at whatever house I lived in at the time) since the 80s, pulled out only when needed.

Price: $50 + shipping. eBay sold pricing for top loaders is about $50 to $125, so the price is fair.

Will upload photo soon.

PM if interested.

Wow it doesnt recognise Macrovision?

That must mean the VCR itself creates its own SYNC so the Macrovisoned reference line deosnt mess it up.....


Good luck with your sale
