The VHS side of the JVC may very well still work (and possibly the disc side as well if one wants to invest the time to sort it). The squire is welcome to it if he wants to add a VHS player to the collection.
As far as the tech "advances" over the past five decades, I'm not that impressed. We've moved to the tech-for-tech's-sake realm now (Apple's endless roll-out of new iPhones a brilliant example). Going from stick-and-fabric "airplanes" to 300-passenger aluminum-skinned jet airliners in just fifty years seems far more impressive. Machine-age dinosaur, that's me.
