Concord VTP-310 B/w EIAJ Video Tape Player VTP-310: New photo & info! B/W EIAJ Video Tape Player. Model year unknown. Sure does look like a Panasonic NV-3010 to me! Photo: eBay
Concord VTR-400 and camera VTR-400: "Standard format"(?) reel to reel portapack VTR and camera. Camera weighed 5-1/4 lbs and had a 5:1 zoom lens. Apparently had playback capability according to the advertising copy ~ this is doubtful. I strongly suspect this is a duplicate of the Panasonic NV-3080/WV-8080 record-only outfit. More info desired here. Photo & Info: Matt Patoray.
No photo VTR-450: New info! EIAJ format reel to reel portapack VTR and camera. Otherwise, the same as the one described above. Again, more info desperately needed on these guys! Photo & Info: Matt Patoray.

Concord VTR-3000 VTR-3000: New photo & info! This VTR offers 450 lines of resolution. It appears to be a 1" VTR. The advertising copy billed it as a mastering machine with the following additional features: Color capable, electronic editing, built RF distribution system, dual audio tracks that could be recorded independently, slow motion and still frame. It sure is pretty. Looks like a Panasonic NV-204C to me! Model year 1968. Info & Photo Matt Patoray.
