Sony Betamovie question

[B 4204 T3]

Hello to every one here at videokarma.org!



I have a question. Does any one on here know anything about an obscure camcorder from the 1980s called the Sony Betamovie? I have one of them that I am thinking about getting it repaired, and using to make some movies. I would like to find out some more information about it, and I could only find a few web sites about it, so I have more questions about it. I am also having problems with my Sony Betamax VCR.



From what I have found online, the Sony Betamovie was the very first consumer camcorder, but they were not very popular, and they were not big sellers.



Thank you for the help!
