Was UHS the original name of before VHS? Or was it another name for Umatic?
I didn't think VHS format was unveiled in the US until summer 1977? |

I think UHS is a typo. The machines in the ad are a RCA VHS deck and a Sony Beta deck.
Umatic was released in 1971 with aspirations to be a home format, but rapidly flopped in that market while at the same time becoming popular with broadcasters...By the time beta was out in 1975 I can't imagine anyone pitching Umatic to the same market as beta.

What is that thing on top of the "Sony" machine? A mechanical clock?

I don't think that's what the production timer looked like, though. If I recall correctly, it had a round analog clock and a dial timer, but I may be mistaken.

No, ignore me. I don't know where I got that from but a quick search is showing that timer design made it to production units. I don't see any of the one I described. I must be thinking of something else.

Yeah the one pictured is the one that was made and sold. I've seen the Sony model in person and I own the Zenith Badge version along with Zenith's first betamax deck is a reskinned version of that song.

I,ve two of those Sony DT-30 timers, one I used with a SL-8200 as in the picture ( that one is long gone) and the second one I have is with my SLO-260 industrial Betamax . The two bear the the same model numbers ( ie. No suffix) but e one with the 260 has a three prong grounded plug, and the other is regular two blade plug . There some trivia for you guys !

Dubis7 , I think you may be thinking of the Quasar VX format "Great Time Machine" vcr timer from around '76 or so. Those had an analogue clock and timer face in a brushed aluminum trimmed housing.

These are the RCA VBT200 and the Sony SL-8200. "UHS" is definitely a typo.
