Hi everyone!

I disassembled a Sony Betamax SL-3000 and plan to use its chassis and one of its motors to build a Betacam tape rewinder.

Could anyone help me identify the correct voltage and polarity for the motors? I want to power them up safely for my project.

Also, I’m happy to give away all the leftover parts from the machine to anyone who might need them.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Best regards,

Hi all, Sony SL-HF100UB (PAL). Audio and RF output work, but composite video output is dead - no picture via AV/video out. When played via RF I'm also seeing significant sync instability and tearing, especially lower frame, and soft/washed-out picture (though I know some of that may be the RF path). I want to use it for digitising, so I need a clean, stable composite (ideally S-Video) feed. Looking for an estimate to repair the video output and do a full service/alignment to get stable playback. Can anyone pass on Mr Betabyte's contact, or recommend a UK Beta engineer? Thanks

Daniele S - I may be able to help with your HF950 issue.

Many years ago (1980) I bought the first Sony HVC2000p colour camera and portable SL3000 recorder. I saw an advert of a man stood on some steps filming a wedding. I was keen to do it myself and, to cut a long story short, ended up filming 45 weddings a year. I changed the equipment over the years but I was really inspired by that advert of the man stood on the steps filming a wedding. I have been on Ebay looking for Sony print ads but to no avail. I`ve tried Pinterest and and trying various wording in search engines. I assume Sony advertised in the colour supplements at the time ("The Observer" for instance) but which copy? No idea! I also assume they advertised in photography magazines too. And perhaps in the early video magazines, but its knowing which copy. If any of you guys can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful!

Thanks

Hi, I'm restoring a Sony SL-HF950ES. The unit is in a overall good shape, I've fixed the loading mechanism and it provides excellent video recording an playback.

However the Hi-Fi audio does not work properly.

The Hi-Fi indicator is lit while recording but off while playback, and only the normal monoaural audio is reproduced.

To better track down the issue, I would really appreciate if someone can provide me a tape with known working Hi-Fi recording.

I'm willing to pay for the service and delivery, preferably within EU.

Thanks to let me know.

Hi all, does anyone have a service manual for a Sony SL-S2000 Pal Super Betamax please?

Hi, I have a Toshiba V-9680 video cassette recorder fm 1980s.

Recently it,s rotary head started to spin way to faster than it suppose to

and now it doesnt play videos.

Can you advise what likely is the cause and where to look for.

Thank you.

I have 19 sealed HG L-500 Sony tapes for sale. I'm open to reasonable offers and collection is from the North London area.

Reply on this thread if interested.

I have a Betamax Sony SL-200ME Mk3. It got stuck in the eject position — the door was open and the cassette carriage was up. Someone next to me tried to fix it by pushing the carriage down manually, and now none of the buttons work. What can I do?

.... on the SS-50 board.

Too add to my earlier post re. HF950 no voltage at motor. The socket that has no voltage is CN109. If anyone knows what the voltage should be and why it might not be there please reply. Thanks again.

Hello to you all. I have a lovely SL HF950 which has no power to the loading tray motor at the two pin socket on the board. The motor tests ok and all the gears are fine. Machine lights up and I have tested all the capacitors in the power supply, also R611 fuse, and Q601 and Q602 transistors which were removed and tested. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would love to get this machine running again. Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys, My name is Norman, residing in South Africa.

I have just invested in a Sony Portable video recorder SL-F1E, no battery or a/c power cable, where can I find these, or make me an offer for the machine.

Still aesthetically in good condition as it is kept in a back pack.

All keep well.

He tenido que desmontar la carcasa delantera de mi video sl hf950, en la que pulsan los botones de play, avance retroceso etc.

No tuve problemas al desmontarlo, pero ahora no soy capaz de volverlo a montar no me voinciden los switches o no se hacerlo.

Alguna sugerencia para que los switches coincidan en la carcasa ?

Hi Nicola

Sounds to me like the sled 'mode switch' has come loose.This can be repaired successfully.Looking from the front of the vcr,it's on the right side of the cassette insertion area and near the front.

As for the 'no picture' issue you could have dry joints to the panel at the very back of the sled assembly.

Both of these issues is getting common now.

Hops this helps?
