We were amongst the first people I knew who got a home VCR, in 1980. (I had five teenage/ just post-teenage brothers and sisters, and my dad was sick of all the arguments over what to watch.)
We rented one (far too expensive to buy): the first one was a top-loader with huge levers. The second one had a remote control (gasp!) which had to be connected to the machine by a long cable.
