We had one of these before a VCR. A very flawed format, after a few views, the discs would start skipping (as they had physical contact with a needle as opposed to a laserdisc read by a laser). We would rent discs and some would skip like crazy. My dad ended up trading it in for a VCR, a wise decision!Comment

We had one too. Didn't really have the skipping issue, but you had to flip the disc over to the other side to watch the other half of the movie.Comment

...undulations in the groove under the stylus directly controls the capacitance between the stylus and the conductive carbon-loaded PVC disc. This varying capacitance in turn alters the frequency of a resonant circuit, producing an FM electrical signal, which is then decoded into video and audio signals by the player's electronics.
Seems it took about 17 years to develop the technology into a product and by the time it hit the market, VHS was ready to be "the standard" for home video....for a lot of reasons. (way more to it than that, but that's the short version)Comment
