You are truely a master in what you do. I know it's not the same but I disassembled a Betamax C7 and it's been in that state for over one year. Can't figure out how to put it back together haha
Around the turn of the century, we bought a 'job lot' of ßetacam tape to reuse. We've had a number of machines, cameras and accessories over the years.
I am still trying to iron out the kinks of who's wrapped the cable like that years before me. TBH I don't recall any factory unit coming with the end knot but what's irreversibly curling the cord is the spiral... that is pure EVIL. I can't stand it, I have to change the power cord if it's mine.
Were there warnings not to use a metal tape in a non metal beta machine? On the tapes or in the instructions to the players? If not, people would just use them improperly and wear out the heads .
Someone was not paying attention. The record lockout tab on the metal SP tape is on the opposite side and the record tab is missing where a conventional betamax is looing for it. So if one was to put a betacam SP tape into a betamax and try to record it would eject the tape. You didn't just walk into best buy and buy betacam SP tapes. These were professional tapes and you bought them from the pro dealers at about 50.00 each. So, no someone with a home betamax isn't just going to put one in by mistake and record. If t hey went to the trouble to cover the hole on the cassette and use it on a betamax wearing out the head prematurely and then going to the service shop the tech would just say, sorry bud you used the wrong tape, you wore out your machine, 250 to fix it. That would be on the user. Nobody else would be responsible. As we used to say to people that wore out the heads on their camera because they put a cleaning tape in and recorded on it, too bad so sad.
No I am playing a betamax recording. It just happens to be on a betacam tape. The original betacam used the exact same tape that betamax used. The shell is aparantly higher quality to handle the faster speeds, metal rollers instead of plastic, but the tape is the same. Betacam can record on a betamax tape just fine. Betacam SP is a different tape. ED Beta can use a Betacam SP tape. If you watched the video without skipping you wouldn't be asking a silly question that was answered in the video.
One of my hf3000 from japan won't eject a tape properly due to front plastic been broken and cracked you have to hold the flap open for the tape too eject I also have the hi band SL-2100 fatal damage in description when i bought it but a tv repair shop fixed here in Australia for $200
@@speedyboishan87 I only used VHS I have never used Batamax so I don't know if there are any difference between the each device. It also sucks when Tapes wear out.

I know someone who ruined their Betamax heads by attempting to play a Betacam SP tape. When they realised SP uses a metal tape it was too late...
LOL that 3rd rock from the sun promo the station is FOX 29. There is also a FOX 29 in San Antonio
Woopeeeeeeeeeee! This is why I watch this channel. Sony Betamax repairs. The rest is just filler. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

The audio sounds demonic like with the Tape not being sinked up correctly.

You're playing a Betacam tape in a Betamax VCR?

I'm sure more will fail, the plastic is getting pretty brittle.
Eject gear was in the wrong place
Isn't it annoying when a Tape gets jammed?
Worse when it gets chewed or jammed yes its so annoying and frustrating.
