Tempest said:Did you have a Betamax Video recoder too?
With it's better image quality, and far superior tape handling capabilities?
My Sony C9 was a superb machine (The top of the range) Even had a multi loader so you could stack 6 or so tapes in it and it would take tapes out and put blanks in whilst you were on holiday to record even more footage.
And here's a review of it:

It's tape speeds, in forward and reverse were better than even todays machines....
ho hum.

Have a look at my kit list - I win!
Oh and it was the C7 with the Betastack - first VCR with infra red remote, picture search (also colour picture search) logic control

There was/is a betastacker for the C9 (as you can see in that link above) though I never had one.
A shame the best technology does not often mean something will win
Siamese Cat said:Now come on Martin, I seem to remember having this debate on another thread about our oldest video recordings about 6 months ago. We all know you've got the biggest collection of Beta kit of everyone!
My C9 has just packed up. Sob. After 24 years.

But whilst we're travelling down memory lane, how about this ULTIMATE Gaming machine
