When I was a kid my family owned a device whose sole purpose was to rewind vhs tapes.

    That’s like any land line phone.

      Most landline phones for sale in the UK need external power, I would say. Either they are a base station with a wireless handset, or they have an answering machine, or phonebooks and other functionality that needs extra power. Maybe I’m mistaken, but I don’t really see “just a phone” any more. Not that I’ve purchased a phone in like 8 years
