I'm sure i did as it belongs to my neighbour down in the next block and he is always walking his dog when I am working and pops in for a chat. I have worked on many devices of his and sold him a few that i was getting rid of as well. He has house full of vintage stereo equipment and even ended up with that old Sony projecton set I picked up at the side of the road. I keep telling him any time he wants to get rid of the seaberg jukebox he has in his livjng room to let me know but i am sure that will go to the highest bidder and that certainly won't be me.

for sure !

Done hundreds of these, and the zenith / jvc units.

It's LASER Acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulus Emission of Radiation.

@@12voltvids I've said it both ways in the past

Did this look like plastic i was glueing? No it was metal. It doesn't work on nylon for example.

belt or idler

JVC took credit. Sony actually was codevoloper of VHS. It was one of the systems that was rejected. There were 4 systems being worked on by Sony, sanyo, Toshiba, NEC,Panasonic and jvc. The only other one i ever saw was sanyos vcord. Sony's beta was technically the best of the 4 as it was a scales down version of umatic that was already on the market. Everyone signed off on betamax including JVC. They secretly launched the m system that was named after the threading pattern. They renamed it VHS and claimed they devoloped it when it was a collective effort by all the Japanese companies with Sony contributing the most. When Sony launched their first vhs they printed on all the sales literature and brothers that they were co-developers of VHS. Had this not been the case JVC would have sued them but they didn't because they knew that they basically stole the design.

@@12voltvids Now I remember something. Saw some YT videos ages ago about attempting to play Beta tape in VHS machine and vice versa (forgot the link, sorry). To my surprise there's some almost recognizable picture & sound output, therefore they must be not too technically different. And that seems to fit well with your explanation too. So yes JVC would probably "borrow" the same technical principle from Beta during development stage, adding some modification and wrap it up in bigger shell, and release it as VHS. However the actual reason that caused Sony to flop behind would be (imho) their own misdirection, not the technical issue. Anyway they eventually strike back with Betacam format, and literally conquered the studio/professional market ever since. So they're sort of even at the end.😁

@@Nantawat_Kittiwarakul The on-tape format for both were relatively similar and an incremental improvement on earlier formats like umatic. It was with stuff like betacam which was stored as component on tape and later with digital formatst where you got a drastic difference in how the video was stored.

@@Nantawat_Kittiwarakul betamax drum size is larger which results means the resulting video track will be longer and at a shallower angle. As the track is longer and the head drum is the same the relative tape to head speed is faster. The color under frequency is also different. Betamax used 688 which is the same as 3/4 u-matic. VHS is 629. 8mm was higher at 733khz. When Sony devoloped betamax they were also working on BETACAM format at the same time as a replacement for 3/4". Sony (and everyone else in Japan except Matsushita and their subsidiary JVC, bet ya didn't know that did you? Yes jvc and Panasonic are related just as aiwa and Sony) was on board with a single format and betamax was the chosen format. The unnamed VHS format was shelved or so everyone thought untill surprise it wasn't. Sony as the inventer of beta wanted a royalty for every machine made. JVC gave away the patent on VHS for a single licence fee but no per machine royalty. This allowed VHS to dominate the home video market. They did try to get a professional version of VHS working but it never caught on as they had technical issues and because the tape was larger the resulting camera was larger and heavier for the broadcast format. BETACAM had become an overnight success in broadcaat. The M and M2 didn't do much. A few broadcasters used it because Panasonic gave them equipment trying to dethrone Sony but it didn't work. BETACAM became the world broadcast format. Sony made much more money selling betacam machines than they lost on home beta. It dominated professional and broadcast markets right to the end of tape based formats. It became digital and then HD.

Like shit.

He always hogs the food bowl. Can't you tell.

It was cleaned a few years ago.

Wave983.fm is the streaming site for it. It's a new station on the air in Vancouver on 98.3. Well new as of last summer.
