According to the nameplate on the Kodak VCR, shows a Panasonic part number.
I didn't think Panasonic built 8mm equipment. :scratch2:

Wow, I've got one of those NEC SVHS decks, and this is the first time I've seen any reference to it on the net. It's been a good machine since I changed the ruined cassette load motor, and the bad belts it had when I bought it.

Guess I will re-run my Mitsubishi HS-430U. Has every feature they could pack into it in '84-85: MTS Stereo tuner, HiFi Stereo, Dolby linear stereo, remaining time counter, manual audio levels, illuminated cassette well with a mirror system so you can see down into the cassette.

Two people I know have (or had) DS8000s. Quite nice machines!

Very hard to beat this machine. The Sony EDV-9500, but with nice wood side panels.

Jon A. 07-14-2013 06:40 PM

That's the EDV-9300, made for the Canadian market.

ChrisW6ATV 07-15-2013 12:52 AM

OK, thanks. The U.S. had the EDV-7500 with wood panels, but it was a less-feature-laden model. (I do not want to call any ED Beta VCR "stripped down".)

Unless it had actually been stripped, which would suck. I know about the 7500, slimmer with no jog dial.

The Kodak is a panasonic, ACJ is the code for them.
Good eyes spotting the tag part ##

I'm privileged to own an example of a very unique looking VCR, the Sony SL-HF2100. Not a single physical button on the unit, and the only switch is for selecting channel 3 or 4 output. Also is apparently the only consumer Betamax deck to sport S-video jacks. It didn't come with the matching remote, but for the price I paid, I'm not complaining too much. :) Pictures available at the top of this page.

Oops, never mind, not Beta!

It doesn't have to be a Beta VCR, it just so happens that several of the ones talked about were. It could be VHS, it could be U-Matic, it could be Cartrivision, it could even be V-2000! Speaking of which, here's a beautiful example of a V-2000 VCR from the Danish masters of style, Bang & Olufsen:

Would look right at home next to my Beogram 8000. :beatnik:

I had a temporary partial brain disfunction:headscrat and posted about the SLV-R1000 S-VHS machine having S-Video connectors and after posting realized you were talking about a consumer Beta having S-Video...

But since ai uploaded it, I'll re-run the picture anyway. Wish I had a pic of one with the door open and the LCD backlit panel lit up with its CCFL tube.

I remember about 10 years ago seeing a stack of these at Fry's on closeout for $499 ea.
