IIRC, Mitsubshi VCRs were the later good ones in the 80's/90's. The rewind speeds were insanely fast. Earlier, Panasonic units were good in the mid 80's. I recall inheriting a 3-piece Panasonic VHS VTR-type camera (not a camcorder) system that had a separate camera, recorder/player, and control/tuner unit. It was roughly a VHS consumer analog of the Sony SL-F1 Betamax camera system. The tape unit was silver w silver buttons, bulky, and had a shoulder strap. It had a slow rewind speed. Super VHS (S-VHS) players weren't good enough to justify their costs.
