Default Re: VCR calendar running out

Quote:
When I was setting the time on the VCR it turned out that the last year that could be set was 2018. It was not possible to enter 2019.
I have not come across that problem (yet) on any of my VCR's, but have come across this issue with one of my vintage computers.

I doubt that the manufacturers would care that their products would still be in use way past their design life!
I have noticed that many clocks start at the year of the product's manufacture date, a useful way to date a machine.
