Go-Video
Go-Video was an electronics company that manufactured dual-deck VHS recorders for home use. The company was founded in 1983 by Terren Dunlap and Richard Lang as a solution for professionally duplicating videotapes for weddings, reunions and business presentations.

VHS Recorder
A videocassette recorder (VCR) or video recorder is an electromechanical device that records analog audio and analog video from broadcast television or other source on a removable, magnetic tape videocassette, and can play back the recording. Use of a VCR to record a television program to play back at a more convenient time is commonly referred to as '' timeshifting''. VCRs can also play back prerecorded tapes. In the 1980s and 1990s, prerecorded videotapes were widely available for purchase and rental, and blank tapes were sold to make recordings. VCRs declined in popularity during the early 2000s and in July 2016, Funai Electric, the last manufacturer of them ceased production.
