Who Has Beta?

I would love getting a BETA unit and @ least 1 movie to view on it! (Commando maybe (Hopefully it wouldnt be digitally compromised))

I only have one factory-made beta movie. It seems like an old rental tape.
The title is: " One flew over the Cockoo's nest". It was probably used a lot, even though, I never saw the movie.
I picked up a Sony SL2300, a few years ago for a buck. In very good shape.
It even has the original "It's a Sony" stickers on it.

Sony SL-10, Sony SL-2000 (two of em), Zenith VR9800 with 9850 tuner timer, Sony SL-hf450, Sony SL-2401. More but I'd have to look for them. My favorite is the SL-10! It went for years and then was sent to MrBetamax and repaired. It came back as new! The rest are just plain work horses. One of the SL-2000 machines has been with my TS-4 Motorola for years. They are an inseparable pair!
I have a couple of VHS machines but the Beta's are much better pieces!

I tried running that movie yesterday. The tape was so bad, if fouled the heads up. I hope they'll clean up OK.
