Labour of love.
Finally got around to fixing these, what a pain in the %^^&$!!! Yes Sanyo or Sony or any other Beta player seems like a urban myth around here lol. I actually had to make Idler tires out of elastic bands to get the Hifi working. I hooked up an old Sony Walkman to the Audio In and had the radio playing through the TV speakers with the FM switch. Interesting to note the 7200 sold for $700 brand new in 1984 which would be just over $1500 with the inflation now. Now I'm just on a quest for those darn beta tapes!

Is that remote correct for the top one? I had two like it (sold one) and they were great units, but I've never seen the remote for 'em.

 I believe they both use the same remote. The functions on the remote are pretty primitive to today's standards. VCR/TV, POWER, TV CH - UP & DOWN, REC ON & OFF, REW, PLAY, FF, STOP and PAUSE/STILL. Wish they would have added a EJECT button. I've also noticed on the 4650 models the 84' Summer Olympics Logo, i guess they were promoting that unit for the games.

Up in Kutztown today getting ready for our DVHRC Kutztown event. Stopped by a retro vinyl/cd/dvd/vhs store. Found a 1979 Fox VHS issue of The Day The Earth Stood Still. Near mint sleeve and the VHS was like unviewed. A cheap $2.65 of entertainment tonight. But the VHS was not re-mastered...just an air version that still had the punch holes in the upper right for a reel change at your local station probably from a 16mm print. It had a video issue where the video level would jump up and down at intervals. I suspect Macrovision that my Sony could not handle. I will try it on my JVC TBC deck.
I passed on two-volume sets of Ten Commandments and Ben Hur probably in pan-and-scan 4x3. Maybe later. 36 years later and Gort is still playing as good as new on VHS. Take that DVD.
