I had a Sony handycam in 90s. A hand-me-down from a rich uncle. Didn't use it much because I looked too rich in my friends group hanging around with, so finally ditched it. It had those small cassettes, which went into a sort of cassette holder of normal size video tape when you wanted to play it. It might still be lying at the bottom of a trunk in my parents' house
Can you answer few questions?

1. Rich uncle means how rich? Was he an industrialist?

2. Can you give a rough estimate exactly which year HE purchased it?

How rich in those days? No idea. Currently must be worth about 60-80 Cr. Not an industrialist. Had a computer peripherals business to start with. But mainly into real estate.

I have no idea when he purchased it

Seeing you're the more like-minded Bangladeshis, I was going advocate having you as moderator. Good to know it's already been done.
