What? Mazda? like a "Mazda Lamp"? Oh, you mean those rotten foreign cars... Stick with beta for good stuff from the East...

not fair. o well i guess its just like my opinion of buicks being ugly fat cars... Ive never driven one but think badly of them. sean, test drive a millenia and u'll see why they say "zoom zoom" in the commercial. JUst look for a str8away! Yuck, I HATE sear-s model numbers... 411.3584235882857620345326 lol!!!

well LOL I guess I can attribute my buick-opinion to not having a drivers permit anyways. NO, not the plain millenia, the millenia S, because it has the 210hp supercharged Miller Cycle Engine with Dual coolers and Lysholm compressor!!!! LOL, what other car boasts anything like that! :):):) na-ni-na-ni-na-nahhh!! :P hee hee... I wonder if a Crowne Vic could catch up to it. What do you think, Olive? It's too bad that there isn't a switch you could have that would allow you to turn on every character on the beta's fluorescent display. Just to exercise the phosphors. I set the SL-2000's timer, and the TURN ON and OFF phosphors are extremely weak. Left it on for about an hour and they were glowing strong.

Jesse: 1996 Electra Park Avenue: 3.8 Litre supercharged transverse mounted 6-cylinder engine, 240 HP. "Have at you" I say. Hell, the little PT cruiser car my mom is lookin' at gets 215 HP out of a little four-banger! That should saitsfy your furel-economy standard, I think...

Phospohor... Good idea, that is, Perhaps if you had the schematic you could apply voltage wiht a battery. Good reason to get the scematic. If you shine a light at the display of a unit, you'll find all these little lights that you've never seen because you've never used the funtion!

that's the same engine as my 2000 pontiac grand prix gtp. also got a 92 mercury gran marquis[crown vic]. the mercury would be lucky to catch any mazda. the new crown vic interceptor[mercury marauder] at 300+ hp gets 0-60 in 7.5 seconds.

ONe of my ideal cars is the Mercedes-Benz 6.9, fastest production sedan EVER, 0-60 in 6.2 seconds and it will do 160 MPH. Merc. Merauder is also nice. Someone at college drives one of those. Also, parhaps 20% of the cars are CJ-series Jeeps. Many of them red. IT seems to be the official Vehicle of Umass Lowell

I see this company called Logic Box has quite a few Betas up for bid...

hi im looking for a sony c5 or c7 in the uk and could someone tell me how you demgnitize a video head?

telefunky... LOL. It's not so much the horsepower of an engine I'm looking at, it's the.. I guess Mazda pride I have, and also, I'd be proud to tell anyone that asked why my snalienia was different from their car is because (italicised) I (unital) have a miller cycle engine and you don't!!" heheeh. _____@_** - nice car--> (oo)(=(*_*)=)(oo)

Why do I get the feeling that every single one of those items is broken?

I hate it when ebay sellers do the "unit powers up but functionality was not tested" thing. How freakin hard is it to hook a VCR up to a TV and test it? How hard is it to hook a CD player/cassette deck/ etc. up to an amp and test it?

I've got this feeling that this place bought/inherited the scrap pile from a repair shop and is trying to turn a buck on it. Based on the age of most of the units, repair probably wasn't feasible.

I have had mixed results from most brands of tape...it really depends on what kind of shape they're in due to their age. Some of my Sony Dynamicron tapes work great but others produce lots of noise in the picture. The only consistently awful videotape I've run across is the Memorex L-750. All four of the ones I have produce so much noise in the picture when recorded on the recordings are almost unwatchable. Beta hifi dropouts galore too. In regards to old recordings, a lot of 10 Beta tapes I bought at an electronics meet last year contain the last episode of Mash, some news footage from when the Challenger exploded, a couple of documentaries about the Kennedy assassination, the movie Surf Nazis Must Die, and some footage that might have been recorded in Japan. I think so because the label on the tape was filled out in Asian charachters, and the tape contained some Disney cartoons dubbed in Japanese and some Japanese shows that looked like sitcoms. I really have a hard time distinguishing one Asian language from another, but I feel it must be Japansese because isn't Japan the only Asian country that uses NTSC and thus would be playable on my Betas? China, Korea etc use PAL right? BTW "Oat Meal", the ebay auction site http://www.ebay.com has a lot of Betas up for bid, but many of them reach vastly inflated prices by the time they are done. Check your local yard sales, flea markets, secondhand stores etc. It may take awhile but if you're lucky you can find one for $5-$20 and if you're even luckier it works!

Oh and another thing. I have one of those "Speak and Math" things. I got it for a gift when I was maybe 5 or 6 years old-1991, 92 or thereabouts. Been in a storage box in the basement for quite awhile but still works.

Got the Superbeta sign. Works perfectly. The little lights dance around the outside just like a theatre marquee.

I think I bought one of the last brand new TDK tapes left in Schenectady County back in 1995. Pretty good tape though I wouldn'tve thought to use Boby's poetic description...

I see those snails are waiting to board a French-style bus by the way...

OMG Franny, you got me dying of laughter! Is that how all those snails get their leeched Betas home?

Jesse: before I collected Video stuff, I collected Vacuums. Rainbow Vacuums are horrid. You have to fill them with WATER! If you want a simmilar vac, get a filter queen. They are GREAT vacuums, I own one personally, however I was lucky and got it for a song, they are EXTREMELY expensive.

AndyW:

South Korea (where I live for the moment) uses NTSC color system M (same as US, including channelization). However, they don't use the same stereo audio system as the US, instead, they use the NICAM system (mono audio is the same as US). They have an HDTV system here, but I have no idea what the technical specifications of it are.

Japan uses NTSC color system M, however, as I recall, they use a different audio carrier and different channelization (at least the Japanese televisions I have owned did not receive US television audio).

Sean, about your RM-E100V: Can it control the VCRs just by using the edit protocol, or do you have to run the video through it as well? Can it perform automatic assemble editing? Which tape transport functions can it control? I saw a couple of them up on Ebay, but the descriptions don't go into much detail.

Do't have to pass video through the RM-E100V but it does need, absolutely NEED to have a COntrl-L port to work.

That's great, because I'd use it between my CCD-TRV87 Hi8 camcorder and SLV-R5UC S-VHS, which both have Control-L ports. I've heard that passing the video through an edit controller degrades the picture quality.

Passing video through anything that doesn't enhance the picture quality will degrade it, even more cables than you need. I can perhaps send you scans of the RM-E100V and its manual.

why are you so mean, sean, lol? Rainbow vacs RULE! So what if you have to put water, it's better than a nasty old bag-vac!

I'm mean because I'm disenchanted with all sorts of crap like that. Rainbow Vacs are awful. I've used them. They're NOT good. trust me, I know. I have more vacuum cleaners than I have VCRs, and that's saying a lot. Rainbow Vacuums are like buying a VHS machine new in 1976. You pay thousands of dollars for something that is limited at its best and uses an inherently poor system. The worst is a bagless vacuum today that use a "dust cup" system, they make this huge cloud!

well GEe Sean why is the Filter-queen 4th in dirt removal behind the Rainbow, hmm? http://www.rainbowvacs.com/html/products6.html

Hmm.. Gonna pose as WOAI photog on Monday when I go to some concert at our new SBC centre... hopefully I'll get to see the rest of the rodeo with Betamie. I'm tempted to erase one of my tapes of coverage from the "Big Flood" and tape Rodeo on it. I wish there was a better way to keep its batty conditioned than running Betamie for an hour.

UH, Jesse, what makes you think they WOULDN'T talk up there own product... Rainbow Vacs are BAD. No question asked. Sorry Jesse, but I just know. As to the battery issue, if you can find and adapt the charger to a modern camcorder battery of the same voltage and battery type (i.e. for NicAd if NiCad or for Gel-Cell if Gel-Cell, etc.) and get the kind that has a "Battery Refresh" option, you'll be in like flyn. Who's flyn anyway?

DO YOU SPEND TOO MUCH MONEY ON BETAMAX TAPES WHEN YOU CAN LOAD NEW TAPE FROM A SVHS OR HIGH GRADE VIDEO TAPE, ITS EASY TO DO, HOW?REMOVE THE BETAMAX CASSETTE HOUSING SCREWS AND REMOVE OLD TAPE FROM SPOOL. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO LOAD THE NEW TAPE ON RIGHT HAND SPOOL AS THE TAPE ON THE VHS IS ON LEFT HAD SPOOL WHEN NEW.NEXT UNDO VHS CASSETTE HOUSING AND REMOVE THE RIGHT HAND REEL, IF YOU ARE CAREFUL YOU CAN PEEL BACK THE HALF OF STICKER JOINING TAPE WITH LEADER TAPE.. NEXT: PUT THE EMPTY REEL FROM BETAMAX IN RIGHT HAND SIDE OD VHS CASSETTE HOUSING AND JOIN NEW TAPE FROM VHS NEW REEL OF TAPE BY USING THE STICKY TAPE, OR IF THAT FAILS USE A SMALL PICE OF STICKY TAPE AND JOIN TO SILVER LEADER TAPE ON BETAMAX TAPE TO THE NEW TAPE FROM VHS REEL. MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE NEW TAPE FROM VHS TAPE IN THE GUIDES IN CASSETTE HOUSING OF VHS CASSETTE HOUSING AND LEAD TO BETAMAX SPOOOL IN LEFT HAND SIDE OF CASSETTE HOUSING. ONCE DONE REPLACE VHS TOP, MAKING SURE YOU DONT DAMAGE THE NEW TAPE OTHERWISE WHEN YOU PUT TAPE IN BETAMAX MACHINE IT WILL DIRTY THE HEADS UP. WHEN YOU HAVE SCREWED THE VHS HOUSING TOGETHER PUT THE CASSETTE IN AN OLD TOP LOADING VHS MACHINE (if available as you can see the tape inside the cassette housing) AND WIND FORWARD UNTIL THE BETAMAX TAPE IS FULL BUT NOT OVERLOADED, ONCE THIS IS DONE YOU PUT THE FULL REEL BACK INTO BETAMAX CASSETTE HOUSING, THIS IS DONE THE SAME WAY YOU REMOVED IT AT START. THIS WORKS BECAUSE IVE DONE HUNDREDS,REMEMBER IF YOU USE FRONT LOADER YOU WILL HAVE TO REMOVE VHS TAPE FROM MACHINE NOW AND AGAIN TO CHECK HOW MUCH TAPE LOADED ON BETAMAX REEL.

Not unless its my blind Spamsung with top permanently removed. I had taken off the screws for easy access because I was so tired of removing them every time some crappy tape from GEoodwill flaked up my heads.

Hey guys i'd just recorded a Laser movie to my SL-HF 1000D and played on my HF 95D,if i may say so it is unspeakable .I use brand new Japanese TDK tapes in BI,BII,BIII SHB6.0Mhz mode with no diffrentiation. Well it's a good night to have marvelous dream of the day.

I can say for sure the one I have for you is better. I will get you pictures of it soon and I will need an address by E-mail so I can check on the shipping.

They couldn't take 5 minutes or so to plug that Viking turntable in and see if the damned thing worked? They had time to photograph it. All they woulda had to to was plug it in to see if the motor ran. At the least they could have secured the tonearm into it's locked position! That needle would probably be done for by the time anyone got it and who knows if Viking needles can be had anymore.

looking for service manual for SL-HF900 OR SL-HF950 SONY SUPERBETA MAX BASED IN VANCOUVER BC,CANADA

They are very clearly a alzy outfit. For anyone who can get there hands on that many Beta VCRs, it's worth your money for even a couple cases of new onew on Ebay so you can test each one and throw in a new, blank tape. It's not impossible to get Beta tapes and deffinitely worth their time... NOt testing VHS machiens is a travesty.

or like makin fun of poor cute defenseless little chrome-dome vacs who have done nothing wrong to you. :) :) :(:( Someone bid on it so I will hav to sell it in a few days. I will have to get another one, because a replacement motor for it is $240 or so. Sean, even though you hate them, if you finda Rainbow at GEoodwill will you let me know about it? I saw a Beta VCR that looked like someone had puked into the tape slot. It was a TOshiba just like the dirty nasty one I found at GEoodwill. I wonder if it still worked, LOL there was green corrosion all over the drum and it smelled YUCKy!

Sean-

See my post a little further up if you want my opinion of this seller.

The stuff is broke. They're just not gonna tell you that up front, hence the "unit powers up but functionality not checked" disclaimer. They KNOW it's broken!

Good place to get parts for stuff you've already got, but I wouldn't suggest buying anything from them thinking that you're going to steal a gem.

I bought my JVC BR-6400U under the "Pwers up but not checked" pretenses and all it needed was a belt. I paid something like $40 with shipping when a working 6400U WIHOUT remote will run upwards of $100 or more. So you may get lucky, you may not.

I bought a Teac A-170 last month from that Logic Box company. It was a real peach to get it cuz I'd bid for it forgetting that they only wanted paypal (they will eventually take a money order if you ask really really nice). Well it didn't work after all that and opening it up... it was full of sawdust! I changed a belt out but it still had a problem that seems to plague Teac A-170s, namely a loud and irritating hum over one or two channels that pegs the VU meters to the point that one of them has had bits of it's paint knocked off. Resoldered a bunch of joints and still the sparodic hum that finally went away when I figured out it was the bigass switch that toggles from play to record that was getting sticky (and was why the nasty hummage) so I sprayed some isopropyl alcohol (ahhh, that sweet magic elixir) in and around the switch and the little fluquer's been working nice ever since.

_@_v -eeeee! a fellow Teac-ster! I wonder if there's a cult following for the Teac A-450? They seem to go for an inordinate amount on the eBay whenever they show up...

_@_v ennyhoo... here's a Beta HiFi Demo tape on offer...

Hmmm... Poor Betamie. I need to replace its viewfinder... :( If anyone finds a rainbow-vac at thrift stores will you tell me? I want another D2......

Need an optical or an electronic 'Finder? Try to pick up a cheap BMC-110K on Ebay, maybe a broken one wih acc'ys for parts and fun...

i think boby has a point about those tdk tapes . i always did prefer the tdk beta blanks. can't quite put my finger on why they looked better but they did...

olive: sony also included a SUPERbeta hi-fi demonstration tape with all their new slhf900's. it is an L-125HG in a grey sleeve.

First of all: Sean, thanx for the link to here. Second: Rainblow?? No Way! My wife had one about 14 years ago (before I got braindead and got married; too many drugs; I'll admit it), anyway it never impressed me. I have a Filter Queen I picked out of a dump full of water and dried it out and to this day it still works great (that was 16 years ago). Not afraid to take it out to clean out cars; interior and trunks. Hell I'd vacuum the yard just to do it and the darn thing would still keep on going and going and going. When I showed it to a Filter Queen seller/repairman years ago he estimated it to be around a late 1940's model. That's durability. IF it ever dies I would definately get another FQ. Newer house vacs are not built for outside use or for really heavy traffic areas. The Rainblow "Test Results"?? Propaganda.

(3) Jesse, even tho I bashed your Rainblow I can say that I still have 2 Beta cameras for sale. A sony BMC 550 that needs the lenses replaced and the AF and a Sanyo VRC 500 for parts; good lenses an good AF. Boxed and ready to ship (includes extras).

(4) Joel, I have one of those SuperBeta HI-FI tapes. Picked it up at Goodwillies a couple years ago for 49 cents.

Later. Pepse.

Lawrence: Nippon Video (behind the Richmond Ikea store) did all the Vancouver area Sony warranty work in the '80s. I used to work next door to them and spent quite a bit of time looking in his cross-reference charts for obscure transistors and IC's my office equipment clients needed. He really knew his stuff and was always most helpful. He had every manual you could think of, even Zenith. I'll drop in there this week and let you know if it's still the same reliable guy or if he sold the place to somebody else.

Need A Sony CCD TR XXX E Zoom lensi still got one left alone untouch.

Wanna replace SL-HF 950 flourecent Display, i got an original Module parts.From Japan.Uppss its a precious ......spare

Boby: got the picture. I will be sending one of the turntable soon enough.DasImperator: the turtable and the Mac case are in the same place. I'll photograph that too. Let me know if you want it.

eeee..... well Boby in my opinion I hate the TDKs. they look sorta kinda like a vEhOs tape, because of the dual windows. For some reason, some tapes just "feel" better than others. The not-so-Dynamicron ES or SHG tapes I have feel "light," whilst the plain old arthriticons with the rainbow stripe across the spine of the case feel heavier. Maybe cuz I grabbed a 500 ES and a 750 plain one. LOL~!

Hey guys, speaking of Macs, would anyone be interested in taking a Quadra 660AV off my hands? Got box, manuals, some type of modem; just no OS CD. Can have it for the price of shipping. Thought I'd ask here before listing it on eBay seeing how we have some Macheads here.

I have for sale two Sanyo beta VCR's, one of which works to a point and the other which doesn't at all. The one that works is a VCR4030 Superbeta mono, and it plays, records, pauses, and has slo mo even, but doesn't like to FF, REW or scan. When you push REW when the tape hasn't been playing it goes back about 2 marks on the counter and then stops. When playing, it goes back, then eats the tape. It FF's fine when not playing but when playing it creates a little slack in the tape and it gets crunched a little when you eject it. The other is a VCR4400 top loader (a while ago I said I had a VCR3900II but I got the two confused). This VCR had REW and FF problems when I got it, so I just took a part out of it for the VCR4030 and its been in my closet since. The 4400 comes with the original wired remote and manual. I don't really know what these machines would be worth given their condition, but if anyone is interested please email me with offers (note: I am willing to sell the remote and manual for the 4400 seperately). There is a possibility that I will consider selling my Sony SLP-305 top loader player only industrial model as well, which works absolutely fine. If I do decide to sell it I will post it up in the next couple of weeks. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks, Marcus

Does anyone know a source for cardboard or plastic slip cases for Beta tapes? I have plenty of the snap-shut plastic cases used by rental stores, but they take up too much room in my storage drawers. I have found the slip cases for VHS tapes, but none for Beta. Any leads appreciated. harrym

Last I knew, Ray Glasser of the Infoguide had a bunch of paper cases he saved off of lousy BASF tapes... see if he has any left. Otherwise it's an irregular item...

Those Nigerian scammers must be getting frisky this week. Got two in one day today. One from the widow of the late dictator of Zaire looking for help getting her hands on her late hubby's loot and another from a chap in South Africa who , wouldn't you know it, has a big ole box of greenback stashed in a safety deposit box from none other than the late dictator of Zaire. For fun I forwarded his scam letter to a couple of the dear widow's various e-mail accounts.

Yeah, I got those two also... other than this, what else do we both subscribe to... unfortunately for me, My Ebay ID is my Email, I'd change it but I don't want a "Shades"...

The shades only last for a month or so and I think people 'get it' that you changed ID to keep spammers off your back.

yet another 'lets break up the bits to sell separately' auction for a not quite working SL-3000 and TT -3000 outfit...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3007545095

gets you the SL-3000 and a charger...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3007545363

in case you want to get the tuner module...

The SL-3000 seems to be the BII cousin to the SLO-340. Only difference is record speed and Plug socket. I have an adapter that would let me use the TT -3000 with the SLO-340.

Anyhow, I won't go in depth on the political scene but I do think George W. is a decent president and, while not without his faults, is a far sight better than our previous leader and is handling things much better than Al Gore would have been able to.

Moving right along I would like to get a hold of the SL-3000 to see how closely related to the '340 it is, inasmuch as If it has the rotating head-drum portion with the air slits that reduces tape wear. (All the pro betas had the "Compromise" head drum that spun a slim section along with the heads. SLits on this section created a cushion of air for the tape to "Float" on. Less chance of catching the tape and doesn't wear it out like spinngin the whole drum in a VHS machine does (Because portions with no slits spin) VHS is a "Lazy" mechanism...

Boby, about that Viking turntable you posted earlier. Look closely at the model tag -- it says "CSA". That means approved for Canada. Brand name "Viking" in Canada was property of Eatons department store (no longer exists: killed by Sears). Their electronic goods were not high quality. Also it will play at the wrong speed if your electricity is 50 Hz AC.

Lawrence of Vancouver: I went to Nippon Video behind the Richmond IKEA store today. I asked the girl there if they can service a Betamax. She said "Betamax? What is a Betamax?" (Insert Steely Dan's "Hey 19"). Fortunately the same Japanese technician, Kaz, is still there some 20 years later. He has his old Sony Service diplomas all over the wall. Try him instead of hunting for a SL-HF900 service manual. You'll need that machine in top condition before the NHL playoffs...

Hi. I was wondering if anyone knows any information on a Magnasonic Beta Max MVC-700, can anyone tell me how much its worth(if any) and where I could look up some information on it?

Pls email me, thx

As far as I can tell, Magnasonic was a Sanyo product division that marketed primarily in Canada. Since Betas are still largely judged on their utility value as well as their features and not necessariliy on rarity alone, that MVC-700 is not likely to give off a lot of snailie pheromones. At least not as much as the HiFi betas seem to...

Eeee!!! I took Betamie to the rodeo yesterday... The results were spectacular. How could anyone say that Beta video sucks after seeing video recorded by a Betamie? The colours are so vivid and true to life, it seems almost live!!! The NP-11 was a bit weak since it had been sitting so long; I only got about 40 minutes out of it. I just wish that I had more events to cover with Betamie. Naturally, its size implies being with an ENG crew. Some ppl were like, "don't get in the way of the TV camera." eee heee heee! :))

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3005491089&category=21166I am now the proud owner of this Sony RM-E100V edit controller. Like I said, the description didn't go into much detail. Sean, if you could send me a scan of the manual that would be great.

Andy: Some Silly &@$^@%) scribbled all over the manual to try and help him remember how to work his own edit "suite" if I dare call it that... It's also a rather meaty volume so I'd much rather do this by way of my convenient Xerographic copier that I happen to have access to for reasons too lengthy to go into here... So take everything after .com off of the Email address I have listed here and send me a message featuring a mailing address and I'll try to get a photocopy (that's a misnomer... It's a Xerographic copy) out this week.

what's the difference between "xerographic" and "photocopy"

Xerographic is the Xerox process, like used in a modern "Laser" printer (Also a misnomer, but nobody will understand if you say a "Xerographic" printer). A photocopy uses special papers and a bright light to actually expose a photograph of the document... It was a little machine, you put the orriginal on a special bed and the special paper on top, closed it up, set the timer, and a out a minute later you had... one copy. About as good as a mimeograph ("Purple" drum copiers... anybody have them at grade school?) but slower and not purple. True Laser printers just wrote on a special paper with a laser... They haven't been used in a quarter-century at least. I have "The McGraw-Hill Computer Handbook" that is so old it differentiates between Laser and Xerographic...

Boby: Photos of turntable ready to go and will arive shortly.

I may not know what it is worth but i was not born yesterday so don't insult me or your self with offers of $50,00 or $100.00

Uh, sorry to dissapoint you, but $100 is a reasonable offer... Don't believe what you see on Ebay, units go for two to three times a fair price on Ebay. I'll be honest, We're all cheap B@$^@%)s here so don't expect $350 or anything...
