Beween all the old VHS, BETA, and Laser Disc I have yet to watch, it could be years, Tom. I built enough shelves for 1000+ VHS tapes already. Now I need shelves for BETA tapes.
But nothing beats your Indiana adventure.

I try to never record over any video tape. Those boxes of beta tapes were heavy, we had to stop and catch our breath a few times on the way to the car. Many of the beta tapes are movies I've never heard of or watched.
I still use tape media for home video recording and then transfer it to DVD.

I too have a Sony SL-HF400 Hi-Fi Beta machine, that I had actually bought off of the Goodwill Salvage (I work at goodwill so that's how I did it) and the machine still works but the cover over the display is busted and its missing its door that goes over the function keys, maybe if you don't want to fiddle around with your Sony Machine you got maybe I could buy yours for parts?
