    The Long version....

    A Video Cassette Recorder manufactured by a company called Bush with audio facilities that only allow the user to record an monural audio track, on the the linear track of the VHS tape (as opposed the the hellically scanned stereo audio tracks also known as 'Hi-Fi tracks' on the same said tape (although VCRs do allow the playback of stereo linear audio, if the facility is built into the unit). Old technoplogy now, but nevertheless an amazing price! :)

    Great for the kids playroom though, do you know the model number please?

    Is this the sale price or a permanent low price item?

    If it was -£11.34 (i.e. they paid you!) I'd consider it but with the price of DVD recorders these days even £11.34 seems to way too much for a video.
    MFW 2015 #41 = £20,515/£20,515
    MFW 2014 #41 = £26,100/£25,000
    MFW 2013 #41 = £10,000/£10,000
    Original MF date = May 2036 - MF achieved on 15 June 2015
