I think someone forgot to put an OLIVE in the drink..

Lets all calm down and not worry about OLIVE or SNAILS

Seems messages keep disappearing here and I dont think it is a problem with the server. wondering how many messages of interest (non squabbling ones weree rased)?

I am also willing to bet that the people who are complaining about someone else making £ or $ providing them with a product or service they desire do not go to work every day and not expect a pay cheque. If you do not want to pay for something no one is forcing you to. The profit motive is what makes things happen in this world. Sony made lots of money in the late 1970s and early 1980s by selling Betamax decks. In fact it was their biggest profit center for a number of years. Do you think they would have stopped making Betamaxs if they could still make money by selling them? In a like manner if the pople providing goods and services to a small niche market can no longer make enough to make it worth their while they will then stop doing so and you will be left with nothing.

MARK says he wants to HELP this site.

YET he ERASES post that he doesn't like.. Everbody who posts on this board has one excuse after another when it comes to making money. Stop this erasing posts nonsense, enough already. Everyone now knows about you website, you posted it 20 times

I know your good intention, as I said before no need to justify. I just wondering why the webmaster has no reaction on this matter..........

I have no website, I don't sell betamax, I just want to help this site become peaceful.

Mark,

Everbody who posts on this board has one excuse after another when it comes to making money.

Stop this erasing posts nonsense, enough already.

Everyone now knows about you website.

It' s a free product, no charge, and nothing to do with me.

MARK is the ERASER PERSON NOW hes trying to sell a product that he is causing

MARK is the ERASER PERSON

NOW hes trying to sell a product that he is causing

WHY are you doing this Mark?

Trying to make Money for your WEBSITE?

Nice work, mark.

Ed Beta you're deceiving good and honest people, what's your problem. Noel is selling repaired Betamax machine on Ebay with personal guarantee/warranty so he got 100% FB, his cutomers are happy with the purchased so what seems to be the problem ??.

That's their approval to buy or not to, there's nothing that Noel can do on that.

What's bothering you ??

I've been whatching you along, you're the one who's deleting this pages NOT Mark.

Mark HIT your nerve (LOL)...

WOW, I hit a NERVE with NOEL..

Sorry NOEL, but when you do what you did to others in the past it always comes back to haunt you.

You have a 100% on eBay, so that makes you honest..LOL What a great indicator to show if if your honest or a crook. ENOUGH SAID..

I wonder what kind of Feed back you would have if the owners of the Betamax's you sell could leave you feedback. Its not the feedback , its what you do on this site to others and how you prey on people just asking question to pick their pockets clean of money and machines.

Don't come on here and tells us about your eBay Feedback, some of the biggest crooks on ebay do exactly what you do on this palsite.

MARK, stop shouting, that website you have will do just fine. We have no control over this site and if you want to SELL your products, just email the web master.Your scamming the wrong people.

YOU guys notice that the 2 biggest crooks on here NOEL and MARK are shouting and protesting the most..

Sorry your money pit is out of service.. Get a real job!

Ed - you dont like my answer - you clear the page - fine.

ED,

The concept of someone helping other people for nothing but the personal satisfaction of being able to does not register with you and that's fine but really its none of your business anyway.

I sell through eBay to people in Australia - simple as that- not ripping them off. If they have a problem then they are free to say so here or anywhere (I have 100% positive feedback) but you - your just sad little person who likes to stir up trouble by mouthing off.

Thanks to the chatpage owners for fixing the last problem.

regards Noel

JOHN,

Noel HAS to make money?

So your saying that the questions he answers to sucker people to his website and clean the pockets of his clients is proper.

I posted the back issue of the customer complaining that he was selling their Betamax on eBay and telling them he put the Betamax in the bin.

Taking pounds and not delivering the goods.

Let him get a JOB and not use this SITE as a picking grounds for poor slobs just asking questions and ending up with empty pockets.

CHEERS

Mark I 'know' you and there's no need to justify.

Mark never scam. Noel has to make money for a living.

You 'attack' people for a 'living' !

I checked on this MARK and like NOEL. He makes MONEY on this..

We are nOT here to change this PalSite, only to ask and answer questions about Betamax.

Take your SCAM some place else MARK

Other than that, Have a nice day.. CHEERS

Well lets hope they will use something like this otherwise it's a useless chatpage. Unfortunately every time anyone 'responds' to a certain 'plank' on here the whole page is cleared. The planks ID is 123866 123863/1207928631 cache-dtc-ah11.proxy.aol.com

will they interested in or be able to implement..?

Mark, ..

We Just post on here, not buy website nonsence

If you have a question about Betamax, ask it.. If not please leave..

We have another NOEL here..One Noel is enough for any site

CHEERS

Mark, this is a Palsite, Not a place for you to hock your goods.

Please leave us , unless you have a Betamax issue.

They all come here to clean our pockets..we have a new NOEL

cache-mtc-ah11.proxy.aol.com is the spammer ID

Previously as 'Timmy' also named Ed Beta and now changing into Charles Joly.

The Lunatic keeps deleting this page. Look like he's now back with new scenario.

FOR GENERAL INFORMATION OF CHATPAGE USERS WANTING ASSISTANCE. JUST LIST YOUR PROBLEM.

There is an individual disrupting this sites operation for his own satisfaction.

Charles Joly , Ed Beta you're a Lunatic idiot,

This is getting ridiculous!Is there anybody out there who actually cares for this website / chatpage?I have offered my help, by email, but yet to receive an answer.

Do we have to accept that this site is taken over by cyber hooligans?Years of useful and friendly information and hints lost due to the work of one spoiled, obnoxious bottom-feeder.

Seems to be a sign of the times though, even Skype is now subject to Spam!"Ohh, there is something friendly and useful on the Internet - Can't have that, let's destroy it." Sad

Greeting from Montreal!

While original heads are unavailable from Sony nowadays, you could get a set of cloned heads which might work quite good. There is a place in Lachine called SIDNAP where they sell these heads. This guy does internet repairs as well.

FOR GENERAL INFORMATION OF CHATPAGE USERS WANTING ASSISTANCE. JUST LIST YOUR PROBLEM.

Ignore certain ramblings that are lies or don't make sense. The individual "cleared" the chatpage using his ED beta ID a few times accidently. Still, that's how dumb this person is.

cheers Noel

Chris,

There is a poster on here called NOEL.

He will talk you into sending your OLD betamax to him.

Then NOEL emails you he cant fix it, also will cost you a certain amount for looking at it and the shipping back to you.

He will also give you the option for him to bin it.

Then 2 weeks after that email from him , go to his ebay site and you will see your machine up for auction.

Bid on it and youll have a great Betamax.

Hope this helps

Cheers

If BOBY would tell me about the LED'S then I would never post again and the ERAISER would have no reason to delete me or the whole chat page

BOBY , why wont you end this by telling me what you promised month ago.

WHY??

BOBY must be sitting back enjoying this ?

Why woudlnt he just tell me?

Lets see if BOBY does the right thing.. Its up to you BOBY.

does anyone know in michigan were i acn buy a beta max machine i have looked everywhere. or does anyone have one to sell. i have a tape that i would like to transfer from the beta to a vcr on to a dvd. or does any one no anywhere in michigan where i can get a beta tape put on a dvd. any answers would be great.

I thought we took care of the Eraser?

NOEL, I'm sorry that your bussiness has been hurt because your post were eliminated.

To tell you the truth, you need to post less NOEL, because your answering questions on Betamax's that no one ever asked you. You post one after another.. Take a bloody chill pill.

Cheers

Hi Bill:Yes, i agree, point taken.To think i was also suggesting ignoring this individual.Thanks for the post.Well one things for sure, no help in any shape or form will be going his way now.There's a lot of good ways to go about getting some help or assistance and he broke every rule in the book............sad but very true.Then again i don't think help for a Beta machine is what he is really after.Some form of therapy would be better.............Kevin.............................Kevin

Name: Noel HigginsE-mail: [email protected] 13th April 2008 1 :30 am U.K. Time Sorry, I should have added if its not ED problem it does not exist.

To KEN the last poster about his TTF1 tuner dying. The power supply fails. Repair is possible but complicated. You will need a Sony service agent who has the right service manual to work out the repair. Transistors and capacitors are generally all that is needed.

Otherwise you need to get a replacement tuner from someone. I am guessing you might need the tuner for its AV in/out connections.

Another option is if you have the separate AV out adapter lead, then you can use the F1 players battery charger as the supply instead. They are a bit more common to get than the tuners.

That's not a dumb thing but I would say intentional by sony. You don't want both connected at the same time normally. The fix is to add a DC socket to the old tuner lead so that it gives power as well. It is starting to sound like you need a scan of the tuner connector pin layout/ functions so you can tackle this project. I have a service manual. Two dead tuners! Your not going well. I have fixed one, but I did not write down what was the problem, I think it was just transistors and a couple of capacitors.

This individual quite clearly has serious mental and emotional problems. However, we are not here to provide outlet therapy for him. Can I reiterate the advice I gave a while ago and urge you all to IGNORE HIM COMPLETELY, whatever the provocation. This sort of person is just as happy to be reviled as praised. ANY response demonstrates to him that he is being noticed, something that perhaps doesn't happen very often in what must be a sad little life.

Kevin, I entirely understand how all this drove you to post what you did, but you must realise that it would be off the proverbial duck's back. He will be delighted to have provoked such a reaction from you. Remember, he gets his pathetic kicks from being destructive, and he has already done serious damage to this site.

I'm sorry if this comes over as a bit of a lecture, but PLEASE take my advice. Don't be provoked by anything whatsoever he says. IGNORE HIM. It will pay off in the end.

Heavens, what have I missed? It must have been pretty serious to get Kevin riled like that.

Stuart,

Thats good news. If I were you I would resolder the connections on the original board because it was setup for the heads on that machine. However if you think the picture is fine then I suppose it does not matter.

cheers Noel

Ken,

On the Australian version of the F1 you can watch the machine on its UHF TV output. Though not ideal because the signal is being remodulated to be demodulated again, possible reducing picture quality, so you may find going RF into a DVD recorder tuner or via a TV to get the signal at its AV outputs to record on a computer does the trick. The machine is only mono anyway.

The output adapter lead is purpose built. I have only seen one and I sold it to a collector in Perth. If your not likely to get your tuner fixed you could pinch the plug/lead from the tuner adapter and use that to source the AV signal, being careful not to short any other lines out because the F1 is full of CMOS that is sensitive to "accidents".

cheers Noel

SLO-1700 now on ebay , cheers , rob

Noel, Thanks for your great tip.Yes I do have the AC F1UB which I now see plugs its 14v DC lead into the SLF1. What I do not have is any adaptor which I guess plugs in place of the tuner and has composite connectors?Thanks for any further help you or anyone can offer.

Noel, I swapped the rp17 board in my hf100 and it seems to have cured the non recording when cold issue:) So my thanks to you again mate :)

P.S: I found Ed's pic somewhere on the net.

yes, greatest reply ever. Agreed.

EdFind a big enough tiolet for your HUGE EGO and stick yourself down it , whilst all the decent members here flush it!You PATHETIC ,SAD , childish,LOSER.I've another idea too, buy yourself a DUMMY (comforter i think you call them in the US).I've never come across such a wining, demanding, sad little loser who throws tantrums when he does'nt get everything he wants.WHEN he wants it and expects it for nothing when throwing around abuse and lies.You may think you're on top of controlling things here now but i think your in for a BIG SURPRISE..................soon.Take some advice BOG OFF you're not welcome here...............IDIOT......

He can only make it reset he cant stop it.

got smack again..am not supprised. This is his aim.

Ed,

Heres an idea, email me direct and I will help you to solve your meter problems and you can stop being FORCED to give the chatpage people grief.

The reason I have not bothered to look at this problem before is that I have enough SLHF950 machines with good displays and I am not really fussed by a few dead leads in the others. It does not stop them working.

Hi there Betabuffs.My TTF1UB tuner twinned to my SLF1UB has just croaked and I am devastated!With many tapes to process I either need repair or replacement. Can anyone help?

If its EDs problem it does not exist.

Noel, the individual that never cared, was interested,

or bothered to ask Boby about his LED repair:

What's the matter, no potential fish to fleece their pockets

clean of their hard earned cash?

Tell Boby...get on here and tell me his secret LED repair and all this will end.What is wrong with you?

Stuart and I made some suggestions to help but get this, he DEMANDS that Boby tells him how to do it.

Yes Keith,

ED the cleaner likes to reset the chatpage and I found out how last night.

He even admitted it's not about the 950 meter it's about CONTROL.

Noel, I appreciate your speculation on what to do

to affect a repair. It makes good sense, though as you

admit it is untried.

Rather than have me experiment and possibly do damage,

perhaps Boby can explain in simple terms (as you did) how

he actually accomplished the repair.

Unless Boby wants further altercations and hatred to flare

up on this board once again?

CHEERS

ah yes it's all about "control" , he's satisfied for his short sighted drum&bass. LOL

What a pity.

I think your right though - It's not about the 950 meter problem, it is about control.

Frederick - What is happening does not seem "smooth" to me.

I don't think the smooth criminal will accept that, he wants Boby explained that tho you got more better description. He won't leave until this site is down.

ED,

Now that's a much more sensible way to conduct yourself. Not just just demanding people do what you want and putting up lies about them. I have no idea what I did that made you start attacking me. I guess you really thought I just go on this site to sell machines. As I said I sell through eBay and have a 100% rating.

I have never sold a 950 to anyone yet but I have fixed quite a few for people. I have never actually bothered to pull apart an SLHF950 meter but I think what BOBY indicated to you in one of his posts was that the LEDS had a mean time before failure. I have pulled apart an SLHF100 meter and I assume they are similar construction. The active chip components on those are surface mounted on the board for space reasons and protected by a layer of black gunk.

In observing the action of the fault it looks like the drivers of IC op amps get overloaded as the third LED in each segment of three lights up. As a test, I would try replacing those three with more modern surface mount LEDs but adding a surface mount resistor in series to each to both drop the brightness (as modern LEDs are much more efficient) and therefore decrease the load on the circuit. I don't know if that works but the modified meters that I have seen in pictures from boby seem too bright for me anyway so it cant hurt.

cheers Noel

ah yeah ..a smooth criminal looking for his lover...She won't show up after after you l h c. Got kicked out twice eh..

BOBY , PLEASE answer the LED question before the ERASER gets rid of our post.

We know you are reading this and why you wont end this mess is quite odd.

AGAIN, I will never post again if you do what I asked..

You wont lose money that you make from people here and on your eBay site, because I dont want to know every single step to repair them.. Just an over view.

BOBY please , Boby please BOBY PLEASE

Thanks, Stuart..Tried that twice, costs big bucks.

Guess what?

They were no better than my original.

What's with this guy, Boby.

He has the answer, I've asked him repeatedly..no soap.

I didn't want details, just a broad overview, just like he promised us.

Hope he does the right thing so the board can get back to normal.

Dear ed beta. I have the solution to fix your 950 level meter. FIT A REPLACEMENT from a scrap 950. Bob s your auntie job done.

NOT POINTLESss, BOBY can end all of this, But he wont

I will stop posting and go away for good if BOBY finally does what I ask. If you want your site back,

I guess it's up to BOBY.

The LED fix is not much to ask.

SO BOBY, what will it be.. This situation can END if you just answer my question about the LED'S.

Do it and I am GONE

Lets see what boby does?? Maybe he will end this? Maybe he wont?

Only Boby knows..

Cheers and looking forward to Boby LED post

Pretty pointless posting here now as everything get's erased................................Thumbs down from me.

Also, I will stop posting and go away for good if BOBY finally does what I ask.

If you want your site back, I guess it's up to BOBY.

The LED fix is not much to ask.

SO BOBY, what will it be.. This situation can END if you just answer my question about the LED'S.

Noel , you finally came out with the truth.

You are saying exactly what I have been saying..

I read post from the past about you taking machine for repairs from people on this site and telling them the Betmax's were not worth fixing.

Then many of these victims saw their Betamax listed on eBay.

I personally don't care what you and Boby do to the poor people that just come here to ask question. BUT when I ask BOBY to tell me a little about the LED'S and he tells me to send money to some 3rd world Country, PLEASE

Boby came on here and told this board that he would tell us how he was able to repair the LED'S.. He thought I was one of your SUCKERS and tells me to send cash to the pit where he lives .

NOEL, Boby and the others, If your going to use people to make money.. Do it so no one else can see it.

Noel,you have become so use to doing this that you forget that others are here and see the nonsense that your pulling.

All your post, protesting what others say about you makes you even more guilty.

Do the right thing and help people, not drain their pockets or sell their items on eBay.

Cheers

Easy to clear eh ED.

OK ED, I give up. YOU REALLY ARE THAT DUMB! I will try and explain it for you in simple terms that even you might understand. OK READ CAREFULLY. I have a website - BETAHEAVEN.COM and I live in AUSTRALIA. (NOT AUSTRIA OK) THAT SITE says some things about me, MY HOBBY and what models of Beta were sold IN AUSTRALIA and ALSO what a machine in excellent condition might cost. I SELL BETA machines through EBAY and GUARANTEE THEM so I don't see how I am RIPPING PEOPLE OFF. The hints I give on PALSITE are just that. If SOMEONE does not have sufficient technical skill, then they are of no use. I would not try and explain to YOU for instance how to fix a SONY SLHF950 VU meter for example. NOW CONCENTRATE IF YOU CAN, YOU MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING. This is a UK WEBSITE and the TV tuners of the machines I sell on eBay for AUSTRALIA, do not work in THE UK, because the TV channel and sound system arrangements are different. Also CHECK A MAP! Australia is not very close to the UK even if someone did want BUY a machine off eBay just for playing back tapes. I don't list my machines on eBay as available outside Australia in any event because there are too many hassles arranging shipping. The PALSITE was set up by people who are interested in BETA and want to HELP each other keep their machines going. ( a concept you don't seem to be able to grasp) I like to fix stuff, and I am happy to give hints to others on how to do so, because it is hard to get anyone to fix a beta in our constantly growing throw away society. THERE YOU GO ED, now you might understand what everyone else already knew. OH, and in case you didn't already know. If you are in the USA as you SAY you are then they use NTSC not PAL so you are wasting your time here on PALSITE anyway. UNLESS you admit that you really just like upsetting people and that's what your hobby is. cheers Noel

Don't you think it's time to improve your hacking skill instead of victimizing Noel&Boby.
