Further wrinkle: it only took a long time in your VCR, which (we all believed) was also bad for your VCR (I mean, maybe? But avoiding stressing the VCR's mechanism was why it took a long time). So, gadget catalogs sold standalone high-speed VCR rewinders, which just about anyone who watched a lot of movies owned. They took less than a minute to rewind a cassette.

Yep had one of these. For some reason I really liked the sound it made as a kid.

Wow, a bright red sports car. We had one of those in I’d like to say 1988 or 1989. What a memory. Thanks for that!

You’re welcome!
