I have 4 or 5 Beta Hi-Fi decks that do not work or barely run. Plus about 50 tapes I would like to convert to DVDs. They have been boxed up since 2009 and I just wish I had one that worked. One of them is a rare Sony that had a built in amplifier with speaker terminals. Has a separate power supply for the stereo audio system. One is a rack mount commercial duplication deck. Must weigh 40 pounds. It would show a picture but needed alignment or a new head.
I would be willing to ship all of these , at my expense, in exchange for a unit that was in good working order.
PM me is anyone is interested.

If you got a dying or dead 2700 series I'd pay for you to pull it apart and mail off the loading arm gear. Mine has been broken for almost five years and I can't find a replacement, plus you can't really glue nylon back together.
