BL> I don't know about Samsung.

 BG> Well you do now. The TechnoVisions were indeed the first Korean
 BG> VCRs sold in Autralia, and were imported specifically by and
 BG> for Chandlers (a decision they had occasion to regret for many
 BG> years afterwards). The Goldstar GVH-1246 was also being sold by
 BG> us in 1988, and my service manuals for both of these (which I
 BG> just checked) are dated as having been printed in Korea in
 BG> 1987. Sorry. :) 

 BL> You are wrong.

 BG> ROFL! Excuse me?

  You explained that Chandlers imported Samsung VCRs directly. Where 
did you get Goldstar VCRs in 1988 when we had exclusivity for their 
*first* VCR in 1990?

 BG> Probably because that's when they were printed. And I'll say it
 BG> again, the GVH-1246 Goldstar was being sold by Chandlers (and
 BG> everybody else, I suppose) in 1988. There was a Tandy rebadge
 BG> of the same model too, and at the same time. They were pretty
 BG> fucking awful though, and Goldstar disappeared from stores
 BG> until their 1296 series was released, around 1990-91 from
 BG> memory. 

  You obviously believe these were Goldstar VCRs and perhaps they
were. Or perhaps they were something else. I only know what I have 
already stated, and we were dealing with Lucky Goldstar Corporation 
direct.

 BG> If I had a stand-alone fax, I'd send you the copyright page
 BG> from the manual, which clearly states 1987.

  You did better at Chandlers than we did in 1990. They didn't even 
have a manual.
