Description
The Zenith VR-8510 is a front-loading Betamax VCR from 1983, similar to the Sony SL-2400. Manufactured by Sony for Zenith, it features 2 video heads, mono audio, an electronic tuner with 14 pushbutton presets for VHF/UHF channels, and a wireless remote control. Recording is limited to BIII speed only. This was the last Betamax VCR sold by Zenith before the brand switched to the VHS format in 1984.
