I'm happy with the results. For s 25.00 investment and 10 for the gear I did ok. Even if i only get 50 or so for it.

Yes it is. Edit mode was on and that turns it off

No snow by morning. Made it on time and was relieved of another 2200.00. Crooks. Now they are talking even more for more treatment.

@@JESUSCHRYSLER5512 as I am finding out. So far I am in about 4000 and the vet is awaiting final test results but is recommending chemo. I don't even want to know what that will cost. Donations from viewers have helped for sure. It's still going to hurt finiancially, just not as much. I have been doing a fair bit of video archiving this past month too so that is also going into the kitty fund. Loki is eating again but the road to recovery is likely a long one.

@@12voltvids OUCH

You do have to line up all the timing marks on both the bottom and top gears. I have videos showing the process.

@@12voltvids how about now I'm getting sound but no picture and I have to let the machine get hit for it to work properly

@@leonjohnsonjr3331 open the top and observe. Is the tape threading properly? Is a guide getting hung up on something? Perhaps a connector is not seated correctly when reassembled?

He is hanging in there. Chemo is tough.

Is the power supply putting out any voltages on the output headers. Those leaky caps leaked corossive material which soaked through the power supply board and corroded away the copper which will been to be repaired.

They do a fairly good job for audio recording especially those machines with manual audio level controls. They can do a fantastic job. Some early machines had an audio only mode which turned off the video circuits.

@@12voltvids Indeed. A lot of people are waking up to that and those machines will become very desirable in the near future. I don't know if they can be compared to studio quality r2r but I'm sure VHS hi-fi surpasses most of the non high end reel to reel machines. I guess the formulation of the VHS tape is far superior and with the appropriate recording bias higher bandwidth and snr can be achieved.

@@dimitarlazarov2094 VHS HiFi is actually more comparable to FM radio than analog recording. The audio modulated 2 fm carriers in the 1.3 - 1.7mhz range. It is first compressed to about half the original dynamic range and then expanded on playback. These carriers are presented to the spinning heads and laid down as diagonal stripes just like video. Unlike video however there is no natural break in the signal. Video resets from the bottom to the top of the frame every 1/60 second and this is when one head hands to the other. The HiFi do not and there is usually a flutter at 60 hz. You can hear in spring certain sounds. It's pretty noticable. I think even the lowest end r-r operating at 7.5ips will sound better despite lower snr. VHS HiFi mutes the audio momentarily during this¹ transition which masks the switching noise generated. Many do record on VHS but it is not better than other recordings like dat

@@12voltvids Aha. So VHS hi-fi uses helical scanning rather than a continuous separate track as per mono VHS. Another drop of snake oil in audiofools drink

@@dimitarlazarov2094 yes correct. VHS Hi-Fi uses a separate pair of heads and what is called deep later azimuth recording. The 2 heads are +30 and -30'. The video heads are -6 and +6 respectively. This creates 36 degrees asthma offset between the tracks. The audio FM tracks are recorded first into a deep layer of the tape and then the video is recorded over top at a different angle. It does erase a portion of the signal but because of the vastly different head azimuth there's enough signal remaining to be recovered. Beta hi-fi and 8 mm high five use the same heads to record audio and video they just use different frequency bands and put the audio in a guard band space between the chroma and the luminance signal. 8 mm and hi 8 however do things even differently then VHS and beta. Where VHS and beta use a separate carrier for the left and the right channels 8 mm and height use two carriers one for the left plus right mono signal and the second for the left minus right stereo different signal exactly how FM stereo works. This was done so that mono camcorders would be compatible because the first 8 mm camcorders wish tricky bottle and then they added stereo as an upgrade. 8 mm however also has a reserved section of the helical scan track which has no data in it whatsoever for video and is used for PCM digital stereo. But the PCM digital stereo is only 8-bit at 32 kilohertz sampling so it is considerably poor quality than CD as the frequency response only goes to 15 kilohertz and being 8-bit does not have hi Dad I'm a cranes so they use two to one compression on the analog signal and then expand it after. It does sound remarkably good and clear equivalent to digital audio tape recorded in the lp speed. All Hi-Fi video recorders do use commanding. Beta hi-fi used dbx as their noise reduction system and sometimes you can hear it working in the background. VHS hi-fi use a similar but not quite as aggressive of noise reduction that beta Hi-Fi used very similar to the CX noise reduction used on laserdisk.

It had a few.
