Adjusted for today's prices, that would be $4,500. Even blank video tapes were expensive. Each one cost $30. Yes, that was for ONE blank video tape!
Yeah - my ex gave me one as an anniversary present in the mid 80's - a Zenith BetaMax that cost about $1600.00.
It was high tech - had a remote control with about a 25-foot long cable.
