Bang and Olufsen Beocord VHS82 video recorder, 1986

Beocord VHS82 video cassette recorder with red finish, manufactured by Bang and Olufsen 1985-1988. With video control unit and instruction booklets.

This 20’’ TV set was manufactured by the Danish brand Bang & Olufsen between 1985 and 1989. Designed by David Lewis, its pyramid-like shape back so it could be fitted into a corner. The red and black cabinet, also available in blue and white, had a carrying handle at the back suggesting portability, though it was still heavy to carry. The TV featured stereo sound, automatic channel tuning and remote control, and came with Bang & Olufsen’s Vision Clear system which assured high-quality colours and contrast.
