There are many differences between Mitsubishi HS-U80 and HS-U82. HS-U80 was introduced in 1988 and ended production in early 1990, while HS-U82 was introduced in late 1990 and ended production in late 1992. Mitsubishi made a similar model of the HS-U80, which is BV-1000, for professional field. HS-U80 uses more belts than HS-U82, but HS-U80 will probably last longer than HS-U82 due to larger caps sized used on the circuitry, no plastic gears break, weight, and original MSRP cost. The HS-U82 has more features not found in HS-U80, which includes twin flying-erase-heads, improved picture and sound quality, and sleeker, modern exterior that will "wow" young people more.
The only place to find discussions (all archives) about HS-U80 and HS-U82 is at groups.google.com. Type in "Mitsubishi U80" or "Mitsubishi U82" at the search box.
