Hi. I'm looking to buy a Betamax VCR. Most of our home movies were on beta, and we'd like to see them. Email me if anyone has one to sell. Thanks. <mark>

I have an old Beta machine (USA) to sell cheap. Lots of pre-recorded tapes. Family type tapes. Some new tapes. $1.00 each plus shipping. If you want to know more let me know.

I'm desperately searching for the Bruce Lee film 'The Big Boss' on Betamax (PAL) to complete my collection. (I'm in England).Can anyone help? I'm willing to pay a great price for this.

Cheers, Jason

REWARD!!!I will pay up to 50.00 for football games recorded before 1980.Check with all your friends.For Cowboy games in 1977 I will pay 100.00!!

I am looking for user and service manuals for a Sony C7 (UK). Thanks.

HELP - SANYO NX100 - come home from work anf the machine is dead. I have changed plug fuse and internal small glass fuse. The internal fuse blows when power switched on. Any ideas. This machine has had little head use.

william

Tell me what did you do to get rid of the loading / transport problem?? I guess your machine drum is just fine. You should look for another problem. Perhaps in the power supply ?

Help, I need to rent or buy a betamax vcr, so I can transfer my home movies,or if I can borrow yours,I will give you my Zenith Betamax. Its not working very well,It needs a certain part which I cannot get.It's one the first vcr's built. Purchased in 1977.

Hi,

I have some NTSC Tapes and Parts for trade, if anyone is interested.

First the parts: A sony SL-HF300 which has been partially cannibalized.and a Sanyo HIFI deck... not sure of the model #, but I could check.Because the heads are worn, I am using this deck as a rewinder so I will let any parts go which are unrelated to this function inc. the remote. (I would let the whole deck go if someone would trade a rewinder anda few movies.)

Let me know what parts you need and I will tell you if I can help you out.

Now the movies:

2 MTV tapes from 1985. I think they were done in BIII.They aren't uninterupted broadcast recordings, instead they area selection of music videos that the previous owner enjoyed.

I also have a concert tape. with the Allman Bros., Crosby Stills and Nash, Wings, and The Charlie Daniels Band.

1 tape full of a children's show called Sillyville, I believe.

Original release tapes:Purple RainSwept AwaySomething Wild

and a few more

I collect silent, classic and foreign films and some horror (particularly Larry Cohen), 8-track tapesreel-reels and vinyl

let me know if any of this interests you

FOR SALE:Sony Betamax PAL SLF30 (Superslim only 80mm high) Full function remote control. Original stickers on case. Very good condition. £125 Essex, England.Email [email protected]

The 39 steps was a very good film, but I don't think that there is a website for it. I don't recall there being many dance routines in it either (ha ha). Anyway, If you ask ask stupid questions on irrelevant websites I guess you get stupid answers.

Oh by the way, does anyone know how many maltesers there are in a standard bag? I would think that betaphiles would know the answer...

Answers on a steps post card please.

I hate the way people are often putting down non sony beta products. I own 10 working betas: 4 sony, 4 sanyo and 2 toshiba's and while I am willing to admit that the sonys provide better results when operating properly, they do seem to be far less reliable(with the exception of 950 ) than my sanyo's which are practically bullet proof.

Many Thanks

William,

why don't you try swapping the motor over in their entirity. Thishas worked for me many times int he past.

To Anjelika,

Most people with experience will tell you not to use one of those cassette-type head cleaners on a VCR, Beta or VHS. They're abrasive and hard on delicate heads. Radio Shack, and a lot of electronics parts stores, sell kits that contain chamois swabs and head cleaning fluid so you can do it yourself. First, you take the cover off the deck, then hold the dampened swab gently against the head drum, and finally, rotate the head by hand. It'll do a much better job than the cassette.

For Sony Betamovie batteries, try the Battery Bank at http://www.batterybank.com. They sell aftermarket replacement batteries for the Sony's. Their model EPP-119 lists for about $78 each.

Also, from the Beta Informer:DON WALTERMANThere have been a number of notes lately about how difficult it is to get new batteries for the old Betamax Camcorders. I've been rebuilding my batteries. The Ni-Cad batteries inside the Sony NP-11 battery pack are standard sub-C size Ni-Cads. I buy them from EH Yost & Co. Their email is [email protected] and their website is http://www.mrnicd-ehyostco.com Their phone number is 608-831-3443. In January, I paid $3.95 each for 8 batteries. Thats $31.60 plus an hour of labor to take the pack apart and solder in the new batteries. Make sure to order solder tab battereies to make life easier. The part number I orderedwas N1250SCRST. That means Sanyo 1.2V 1250mAHr NiCad. You must be extremelycareful re-assembling the pack so that it will fit properly inside the camcorder.Taking the battery pack apart is also a challenge. If anyone doesn't want their dead NP-11 battery packs, I'd be happy to pay the shipping for them. Regards,[email protected]

I am looking for a head cleaner for my 1985 Beta vcr.

Also need new np11 batteries for betamovie .They refuse to recharge any more.

Help I am looking for some vtr clock software I know this is properly the wrong place to put this message but I am desperate thank for your help Jon

I have a bannana box full of beta tapes for sale with a top-of-the line beta recorder which needs alignment which I'll throw in. Any interest out there? $50 or highest biddder. You pay shipping. Original value over $1,000 US.

Can I repeat my plea for any help in getting separate Y C output from an SLHF950.

Also, and purely out of interest, does anyone know how the SLHF100 retains its tuner channel information? I have one which retained it without any degradation despite at least 6 years of disconnection due to a defunct power supply. I would have thought that 1985 non-volatile memory technology might be quite primitive, but perhaps not. That lapse of time would seem to rule out any capacitor-powered method of storage.

I have owned FM tuners which wouldn't retain settings for three weeks!

I put a dodgy C6 up for sale at £20 and one caller is so desperate for a good Beta deck he is offering £250 for a Sanyo VTC6500 - any thoughts

Hello all! I'm not sure if this is a problem or not, but sometimes while using my SL-HF300 I noticed something that sounds like a motor reving up, and then stopping. It is very faint, but if I should start looking for a parts deck, I'd like to know. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi all, Just a quikie about beta tapes. I have managed to onbtain a couple of the old sony tapes with black background and red letters with the old betamax logo. These were launched before any of the Dynamicron range. I know this is no real big deal but they are still fully wrapped.

I have a fully operational Sony Beta player, with 400 beta videos (My dad used to own a video store back in the 70's. Among which are the original versions of Starwars 1, 2, and 3, Dirty Harry, Pshyco 1, and 2, and many more in a catagories. I am very interested in getting a estimate on the value of these goods, and, if interested, I am interested in selling these goods also. Please contact me.

I have no idea if I am posting this note in the appropriate place, but hopefully someone can help. I purchased a sony platstation that runs by the pal system, but my television is ntsc. So, when I play my games they are in black and white. Is there a convertor that I could plug into my playstation that would change the signal to ntsc?

I HAVE A SONY BETAMOVIE BMC-220, IN MINT CONDITION, WITH TWO BATTERIES AND ITS CHARGER. IF I WAS TO INVEST IN A BETAMAX VCR WOULD IT BE COMPATABLE WITH THE AMERICAN SYSTEM. WOULD THEIR BE SOME KIND OF ADAPTOR OR CONVERTER. AND WHAT KIND OF TAPES WILL HAVE TO BUY? IF THIS IS TOO MUCH TROUBLE, I WILL BE WILLING TO TRADE THE CAMERA, ITS TWO BATTERIES AND ITS CHARGER FOR AN AMERICAN SONY OR TOSHIBA MOVIE CAMERA IN MINT WORKING CONDITION, WITH TWO BATTERIES AND ITS CHARGER.

To JSP:

I, too, have heard that Sony still sells a couple of Betamaxes in Japan. I'd love to purchase a brand new machine from there (I gave up trying to find any dealer that mighta had any SL-HF2000's left!). Heck, I bought a minidisk machine from there that wasn't available in the USA But if I could get a Betamax, I'd be in heaven! I'd love a late-model that has many of features found on newer VHS machines. And hey, I could plug it into the same 110-100V converter I use for the minidisk deck!

Hi,

I have a Sony HFR60 (American) which is "Hi-Fi Ready". I would like to upgrade it to Hi-Fi sound, but I am not sure how to go about it.

I have a sony HF300 parts machine which is HI-fi. Most of the partsseem to be compatible with the HFR60. Can I take the Hi-Fi componentsfrom the parts machine and move them into the keeper?

If so what parts are they? Does this include the audio heads? or just the processing circuits?

If not, can anyone help me to find a modification kit for the HFR60?

will

Dear All,

I am fascinated by your angst for betamax and have learnt a lot from your website. I am a lawyer in London working on some litigation and we URGENTLY need to get hold of the following betamax model:

SL2401 or SL 2400

IF ANY OF YOU GUYS or GALS OUT THERE HAVE ONE I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IF YOU WANT TO PHONE ME DIRECT FROM AMERICA THE NUMBER IS 00 44 207 400 7979.

Thanks a lot, any help greatly appreciated, and prepared to be rewarded i.e paid.

Hi i just purchased a Sony SL-HF750 and don't have the proper remote.Anyone know the correct number RMT-??? I know there are several that will work,but i would like to get the correct one. thanks John

John Andree:

I also have a remoteless HF-750. The remote for it is: RMT-143 (Sony Part# A6767085A). I haven't yet tried ordering 1 from them, but I imagine it'll cost a fortune (if they even still sell it!).

I would even assume that RMT-223, which is for the HF-950 (PAL version) would work also. Take a look at the remotes listing on this site: http://www.palsite.info/pref_remotes.html

I have a Sony SL-C30 (i Think thats what its called) The Tape spool is broken and a fuse has gone inside it does any one In uk know where I can get it repaired, anywhere in uk apart from Scotland I can travel to.

Hello. The batteries for my BMC-550 have gotten so bad that they only give me five minutes on a fully charged one. I'm gonna put the the new Ni-Cad cells in both the batts, but I need to know how to get in, and what type of battery to replace them with. Any help is needed an very much appreciated. Thanks.

Can someone tell me whether betamax tapes are double sided or not. By this I mean can you tape on both sides like a cassette tape.

I'm looking for remote controls for a SEARS BETAVISION VCR Model # 562.53442350 and/or Model # 56453410450. Also would a universal remote I purchase in 1999 work on these Sears Beta VCRs from the 1980s? Thanks.

Hi. After years of use, there is finally something wrong with our Beta machine and instead of throwing it away we thought we would sell it to someone who could use it for parts, etc. It is a Sony Super Beta hi-fi Sterocast SL-HF600. If interested, send an email to the address above. Thanks

The SONY SL HFR series of VCRS did not have a kit to install to make them HiFi. They had an external adaptor there were two differnt ones available. They were the same depth and width as the VCRs but only about an inch and a half tall. These unts contained electronics tpo process the HiFi signal. The idea was that since HiFi decks cost a couple of hundred dollars more than a non HiFi VCr that people could buy an HFR VCR for about $20 more and then buy the adaptor later, or use the unit w/o as a non HiFi VCR. The two model adaptors wree the 100 and 200 the sole differencebetween them was that the 200 had an MTS tuner decoder in it so that programmes one recorded in HiFi would be in stereo.

Hey thanks Alan,

So does anyone have an add on Hi-Fi Processor for a Sony HFR60 (US, NTSC)Model #s HFP-100, HFP -200?

I have a sanyo deck (mechanically sound w/worn heads) and many parts remaining from the Sony HF300, which I could trade, as well as an extensive library of Cult and Classic Films (well not compared to some, but it is upwards of 200 films).

thanks for listeningwill

To: Robert Bayley (above)You're thinking of the Video2000 system - that was double sided. The Betamax format was single sided like VHS but smaller.

Hello all in beta world. Would anyone have any idea how much I should expect to sell a Sony Betamovie BMC-500P for please? It even has the original box and hard carry box too.

Many thanks, Win.

Looking for an excellent rebuilder. I have several home beta vcr's and would prefer to spend money on the ones I know. Does any one have a name for me? I would prefer one you have experience working with.

I have a SLHFR70 with HFP200 I would part with for a good offer. Not to be sold separately.

FYI, the HFR70 has lots of hours in use but has new heads, new pinch roller, and even though it works fine, it has much wear on the ACE assy.

Buyer pays shipping from Montreal, Canada

HiThis is rather urgent...in about five minutes I need to make a decision whether to buy them or not. Anyone heard of Sony's ES L-750 beta cassettes? How old are they and what is the approximate price per cassette? What is the duration and is it still in production/use in the market? Thank you.

Anyone know where I can buy a NP-1 battery pack for my SL-F1UB?

FOR SALE - I have a non working sony SL-C6 in mint cosmetic condition(looks like it has never been used) for $10. Also a black sony SL-C5 for $10. I bought the C6 about a year ago and it worked fine for a few weeks but developed a problem whereby when the tape is inserted it will eject it a few seconds later( I have no idea what could cause such a problem). As for the C5, it works - just. I believe it needs new belts or someting as eject,rewind etc are sluggish and sometimes play will not immediately work. Additionally I have for sale approximately 30 still sealed L500 beta tapes for $20 for the lot. I am selling the tapes so cheap as I make no guarantees about their quality. Although they have never been used I think the tape in them has deteriorated over time. They would be good for splicing new tape onto etc.

I forgot to mention in my last message that I live in South Australia.

Hello. I got a free SL-5000 today that someone left out in the rain. There isn't any damage from the water, but it does have some problems. It doesn't want to thread a tape. I have to help it along a little. It also has speed problems. It plays at the beginning of the tape, but the speed is off. It won't even play at the end of the tape, nor will it fast foward. Does anybody have any idea what could cause this? If so, please e-mail me. Thanks.

I have a boxed UK spec Sony SL-C9UB for sale. Good condition, with remote and operating instructions. I've had this machine since new but have not used it for the past 10 years. Please make me an offer if you're interested.

I just bought a Zenith KR-9000W beta machine and I am trying to determine the date of manufacture and the original cost. Anybody have any idea? I think it is around 1982 or so; it weighs 38 pounds. Also, the heads may be dirty as the recording playbacks are all very snowy and streaked. Anybody have any idea on how to solve this problem?

Thanks,

Hi, I am looking for a fairly cheap Betamax Video - Slim version Front loader 33 1246208272

I have just adopted an SL-HF500 SONY Betamax... I need help fixing it! The power supply works, and the Self Test passes, but the loading (tape and cassette) motor, reel table motors, capstan motor and head motors are dead--I am guessing the loading motor has an IC Chip that, when the motor completes its job, it sends a signal to load the tape and turn the reels when PLAY is pressed...Am I correct that this motor is dead and the IC Chip can't send the signal until the motor turns??? Any help would be appreciated! Thanx

P.S. I have a replacement motor...

Nick...

Practically every one of all betas I saw with the "partial death" problem had a defective STK chip in their power supply. Try powering the loading motor with another source so you will be sure it's not dead.

I just discovered this website, as my interest in Betamax has recently been revived. I reinstalled my old Sony Betamax SL-T50ME, which I bought in Saudi Arabia in '84. I have a collection of Beta tapes I recorded off Saudi/other Gulf States TV, which I've been enjoying (enthusiastically) looking at recently. Before my only Betamax VCR falls apart, I wish to find a replacement one, that has more advanced features such as hi fi/stereo sound, rather than just mono, and, of course handles PAL, SECAM, as well as American NTSC. I'm hoping that joining this website (I just signed the Guest Book), I'll find out where to find one, plus, lots of other interested Beta-related info.

Yes Steph. This unit is available from Woolworhs at £2.99. It also allows you to play DVD, DAT, 3.5 floppies and vinyl LPs

homer, I can back you up there. But listen, it will also play standard audio cassettes, 5" reel to reel tapes, minidiscs and micro cassettes - now that is one piece of kit!

The fact that VHS videos are designed and built for a totally different format - not just physical construction - does not seem to matter ( to some).

One thing puzzles me. Why do we have all these different machines if one adapter will play everything in a VHS video? Answers by morse code please (my computer will accept it - I have an adapter).

I have an SKC STANDARD GRADE VIDEO CASSETTE (VHS T-120). The problem is that I some how broke the tape. So I opened it up to tape it back togather. Now I can not put it back togather prperly. You see I have 5 pieces that I don't know where or how they go togather in the video cassette. I want to keep the recording I have on the tape. Here are the parts I need help with. 1) small spring 2) a little larger spring 3)White plastic tube. 4) Black moveable plastic switch 5) Other side or half of black moveable plastic switch. A number also stamped on the video cassette reads D368D. Now I have been looking for the SKC (Product Home Page) but couldn't find it. However I do have the address as follows: SKC 201 Route 17 North Rutherford, NJ 07070 It also says Made in Korea on it. What is my next step in resolving this problem? Thank you.

Hi

I have an SLF30 which refuses to eject/load tapes. Apparently I need to replace the Gear Loading Arm - Sony part no 3-684-163-01.

Can anyone tell me where I can get one? I'm in the UK, near Watford.

Thanks

Robert
