Working for Magnetix–the company that started Connextions–as an electronics technician, combined with Magnetix’s thirst for buying old equipment and putting it into production, there was always a welcomed challenge. Magnetix had purchased three VHS Video Tape Loaders from CDI as non-working units. Well… ok, one of them sort of worked if the mood phase was correct [kidding]. A video tape loader is, as the name implies, a robot-looking device that carefully, yet quickly, loads bulk VHS video tape into the VHS cassette ‘shell’. By virtue, they are very complex devices consisting of an electronic brain,a human interface, pneumatic rams, vacuum, and high-powered motors working in unison.
