Another Umatic deck....
(Should this be here or in "Television Broadcast Gear" subforum?)
Was on its way to the bin when I spotted it and dragged it home. It's the somewhat basic VO-5600 with nothing really all that special to it besides the remote connector. I remembered I had a random RM-440 multi-deck edit controller gathering dust so I grabbed it and a a remote cable, popped in a tape and we had a nice picture with sound.  In theory I could attach my VO-9850 to the other half of the controller but its missing the optional BKU-703 remote interface (and if you have one spare, please PM me) but the idea of a two-deck editing system sounds tempting.....

Some funtions of the RM-400 editing controller will not be recognised by the 5600 because it is a simple recorder. In common with the 5000/5030 players, it only has fixed-speed 5X search in both directions. It will be difficult to find the edit points. And to edit with it, you should deactivate the reverse function on the RM-440 (on the back you will find switches for the player and recorder sides). Otherwise, the 5600 will not preroll when needed.
I had for many years an UMatic editing suite with three VO5850, Sony 800 TBCs, a Director 2000(switcher) system and the RM-440. The RM440 can not control three machines at once (A/B roll editing), but I could do dissolves, wipes, and such. Once I was left with only one surviving 5850 editing recorder, and had to use my VP-5000 as a feeder (player) machine. The video quality was not the same (even with UMatic you could have worse-than-usual things), and sometimes the edit points shifted, but I kept editing until had time to lift the hood on the 5850s and repair them.

Wow how great they look.They were the mainstay and the back bone for TV in that era.
I got mostly older top loaders here from Sony and JVC. The service manuals are available on http://freeservicemanuals.info/en/?p...asc&brand=Sony Be advised. These are for the PAL video format but the mechanics should be the same.If not posted .The webmaster can upload it for you .
