Does anyone have a working MII deck they would part with for cheap? My local Broadcast Pioneers need a deck for a bunch of tapes they need to xfer for the website.

Sold (for actual money) the last two I had about 6 years ago to the CONUS broadcast folks (of satellite uplink fame.) They were engaged in a similar mass-transfer project.

Scripps-Howard TV stations were big users back in the day, so your local outlet may have one lurking in a corner.

I can make some inquiries to some regional independent post houses, on your behalf, if you PM me contact details. These would be folks I know who had them about, and may be inclined to divest. I would be a contact liaison only -- no financial interest...

I might have some manuals around here somewhere, too.

Let me know...

Chip, perfect. PM to be sent with contact info. I am in Philadelphia. And I have to check our NBC O&O to see if they may have one stashed. NBC was big in MII also. We do have a nonworking deck for parts.

What model do you have, I have an almost complete set of board spares form a 62H player.

I do also have a 65H edit recorder in working condition, but not looking to sell.

I am in Ohio
