I recently purchased a Fisher stereo VHS VCR.  In general, I am very happy
with its performance, but I've noticed the record-length timer is non-linear.

In other words, a half-hour recording at the begining of the tape is not
equivalent in counter-units to a half-hour recording at the middle or end
of the tape. (as the tape rolls, the counter units are longer with respect
to time).

Is this normal?
