 | Ouch!!! I guess I won't be finding out if those tapes I got are any good or if they blanked them out then. My wife found two master copies of Robot Chicken episodes, and I was trying to see if it was still on there. |

I could rent it to you for $20 + shipping & security deposit. usually buy them from there for 10$ and I resell them. I made 700-800$ doing it so far. |

Re: [WTB] Wanted Betamax Player I still have two working Betamaxes. These things are of good-ol' 1980's hefty construction -- quite expensive to ship. Really only good buying source, these days, is eBay.
Unless someone was doing it retro, your tapes may very-well be of the professional Betacam format. Same size tapes, but different recording method. So, you may want to see video-conversion services. -- A king must have two thrones: one he sits on in public, the other in private! |
