Funai Electric Company, maker of VHS video cassette recorders for its brands like Magnavox, Emerson, and Sanyo, has announced that they will stop production on new VHS video cassette records this month.
According to the newspaper Nikkei, it's difficult to source the parts and, surprise, sales of new units have continued to plummet.
Expect a VHS-only store to appear in a hipster neighborhood near you soon. Y'now, the image just looks... warmer.
