The one in the link looks like it's missing the "clamp". Mine has a bakelite disk about 5" in diameter that holds down the paper/magnetic-coated disk flat to the turntable. The disk has a spiral groove in it, and the tonearm has an outrigger pin that engages the groove. The pin guides the head in a repeatable fashion over the flat magnetic disk. There's a tracking control to vary the pin position so that the record/playback head on the end of the tonearm tracks appropriately.
Your referenced dual-use version sounds like the "ultimate expression of the art" for this media, to be sure! It would seem they would pick 33 1/3 as the table rpm -- I don't know the speed of mine, but it would stand to reason they wouldn't re-invent the idler wheel... Thread now devoid of S-VHS content. Oops. Chip |

I keep one S-VHS deck around simply because S-VHS broadcast cameras are basically free now and if you want a decent tri-CCD camera but can't afford what Betacam still goes for, this is your ticket.

I guess if you are going to own ONE VHS format deck, the D-VHS (Digital VHS) decks that can also record and play back HD signals would be the one to have (I have several). They can play back with very good quality any VHS tape, Standard, S-VHS and of course D-VHS. In any case a S-VHS deck works very well with playing back standard VHS tapes, so, all-in-all every new technology improvement in the VHS tape system, always allowed for the playback and recording of the older VHS standards. No obsolescence. The last D-VHS decks even have HDMI output.

W-VHS and D-VHS have been been on my want lists for a while too, but they have been a bit too pricey for me when they show up on the bay (which is the only place I have been able to find them for sale since I learned of them).

Dish network had a really neat D-VHS satellite receiver that would record the actual satellite stream so there was no degradation in picture quality.

Sharp had an LCD monitor with D-VHS direct in, too. I have a need for one, if anyone has one sitting around... Somewhere around here I have the model number.

I saw an analog HD demonstration at NAB one year. 1" video tape machine, modified accordingly. Great image, and about 20 minutes per reel of (normally) 1.5 hour video tape. Great image, without "banding" associated with digital.
I do think you can get HDMI-to-(something else) converters now, but they don't pass HDCP(?) encoded signals. I have heard that some versions of LCD TV can be "parted out" for circuitry to address this issue. There was a certain model with a 4-input HDMI switcher that would satisfy HDCP-encoded signals and pass a signal "scrubbed" of that data, for whatever purpose. Don't have a need myself, so I haven't tried it. Chip |

I don't know... but VHS could come back as a special effect like the old film effect with dirt and scratches... might want to re-contact those schools and tell them about this new retro art form.
I've seen a new Progressive Insurance Flo ad recently that is obviously to the knowing eye made to look like an old VHS tape, complete with fuzzy resolution, slight smear, a wandering switching point at the bottom of the picture with a bit of skew, and warble in the audio! Definitely No affiliation! http://at.progressive.com/fun-and-en...school-special |

Wow that Yamaha is a rare bird. It really looks like it was made by JVC.
