SLO1700s becoming very rare nowadays and not seen much around. I have three of these and also three SLO1800s (NTSC). Back in the days there were plenty of SLO1800s that could easily be picked up on ebay but then they suddenly started to disappear. Its the same now with the SLO1700s, they are no where to be seen that much on any auction sites anymore... Excellent Video Alex....
Certainly a rare machine indeed. Would love to see a SLO1800 - really on the next level of duplication machines from what I've seen and read. Really glad you enjoyed the video too. 😊
Interesting that they had enormous faith to to use the core mechanical deck of the sl-c9/sl-f1, the sl-hf 100s hi-fi drum and both various elements of the c9 & the 100 to create the SLO1700. Now if Sony had that much faith the SLOs mechanical deck and used it in the commercial decks we could have had some more interesting trick players than the well basic 100/150/77 Hi-Fi models.
It is a great machine. On the HF950 - does the standby light come on? Do you see SC constantly lit on the clock display? A couple of videos to come showing power issues very soon.

Thank you. Very good. Betamax every wonderful. This models simply t50
Thank you! Similar to the T50 in some ways but quite a mix of the HF100 and C9/F1.

Very true and the biggest thing was the unwrap for fast rewind and fast forward which was great! Only PAL Sony Betamax I know of that does that.
This is still a dream Betamax unfortunately almost not available in Germany
They are getting so rare now unfortunately. I assume they were used in the day in duplication farms?
Buena maquina también se me averiado el sony sl-hf950 no funciona el ejept y tampoco obecede a ninguna orden tu sabes porque es

@@MrBetaByte el display si se ilumina con todo le doy al botón de open close y abre y cierra perfecto el botón del ejet no responde hace un ruido
@@MrBetaByte el reloj también sale en el display
