I remember as a kid in the early 80s, we still had a VCR that had a remote with a cord. It was like 3 buttons or something. We also had a Beta machine in the garage for a while from before I was born.
Hehe I still have one for the National NV-300. It used a pair of wires and each button presented a different resistance. Only issue was if you half pressed a button it might think you hit record.
