Who had one of these video recorders?

[catseye]

i had grundig same as the philips ,had big square cassets wit one reel above the other broke down 6 times in 9 months,comet exchanged it after a lot of hassel,for a aki vhs recorder and some tapes,it was problem free for years.

Joe I had the phillips one -it was a great machine
Used to turn the tape over & record other side so had 8 hours max
Not enough releases on that format killed it off
