Das Ende vom VHS-Videorekorder
Alfons Lammers
14.Aug.16
  1

Als letzter Hersteller hat Fa. Funai Ende Juli diesen Jahres die Produktion von Videorekordern eingestellt.

Grund waren zu geringe Verkaufszahlen (750.000 Stück im Jahr 2015) und immer größere Probleme überhaupt noch die benötigten Bauteile von den Zulieferern zu bekommen.

In besseren Zeiten baute die Firma jährlich ca. 15 Millionen VHS-Rekorder.
