Ever seen a side-loading VCR?

Hello all...

In my latest round of shopping at Curbside Discount I happened across a very
interesting Zenith VCR. It's a Model VR-1380 and the way it takes a tape is
rather unique. The tape is loaded "sideways". So far it looks to work apart
from some moderately tired rubber.

Anyone ever seen another VCR that does this?
