Default Re: Hitachi VT-11E VCR not working

Oh the memories, idler tyres turned over, indifferent loading belts and groaning capstan motors.

I also remember the look on a very-well spoken chaps face, who insisted his old VCR parts were returned to him. Not a problem, the repair turnaround was very quick too since we had a service kit in stock for his machine. The service kit was genuine Hitachi, the customers VCR? was a B&O!

We casually pointed out the 'Made in Japan' and Hitachi logo on his Danish B&O VCR's, rear label.

I also remember ordering a LOPT for one of 'their' tellies, we were stunned as an empty 40-foot B&O truck rolled up to the workshop door, parcel in the back. We could only surmise he'd completed his bulk deliveries beforehand, though the comic value amused us.
