I can remember back in the 1980s an engineer came back from a call to a piano key VHS machine.
The user had put a new tape in without unwrapping it bending the cassette carrier and guides.
We spent half a day joking about the little robot inside the VCR unwrapping the cassette before the tape loaded.
