I remember seeing them for NZ$2000+ when they first came out, mono, cabled remote. The big VHS vs Beta debate.

I sometimes wonder how much time & effort has went into buying some of the stuff I scrap down just for a few $$.

Like WOW $50 scrap copper = $15,000 worth of TV.

I remember a buddy of mine bought the first small tv dish i ever saw, the dealer had only sold two before his. paid $1200, now ya get them free for signing up.
