Beta Tapes
This last weekend I went with my son to our local county Flee Market to help
him carry out a couple of boxes of video tapes. A couple months back my son had brought home two boxes with video tapes and two Beta VCR's. The seller had more tapes, which is what I helped with. One is a Sanyo 4027 and the other a Sony SL-HF400. Both vcr's needed cleaning. I had a set of Sanyo belts and tire on hand, so I replaced them. The Sony can only output a video signal though the internal RF to a television. The tapes came from an old video store up in the Green Bay-Appleton area. In all he got a little over 260 beta tapes. Most of the tapes were produced in the 1980's. I posted some pictures below. |

Beween all the old VHS, BETA, and Laser Disc I have yet to watch, it could be years, Tom. I built enough shelves for 1000+ VHS tapes already. Now I need shelves for BETA tapes.
But nothing beats your Indiana adventure. |

I still use tape media for home video recording and then transfer it to DVD. |

I'll probably embark on a video watching binge and watch a movie a night for awhile.

Thats a good idea.It will give your decks a work out too.My Sony was used as the daily time shift driver up to 1998 when the Beta blanks were scarce like VHS is getting now.
