    Back in the 80s, people used to travel to the USA and bring back NTSC machines because it was cheaper, here in Brazil where the standard was PAL-M you would send the machine to a technician so the crystal could be changed to PAL-M. Specially Panasonic machines. And I have a PV-4700 from 1987 with this mod.

    In my country, we use PAL-N. Back in the day, we were importing NTSC VCRs, mostly Panasonic. The technicians here would actually mod the VCRs to play PAL, and NTSC. They would install a switch in the back to select the mode. I have a few books about that modding process. The problem was that sometimes you had compatibility issues between machines, because the process wasn't standardized. For instance, I have a machine that plays fine on PAL if the tape was recorded in that same machine. But if it's from another machine, you get a sort of wavy picture. It's a shame too, because it's a relatively new machine, and has great picture. If you're wandering what the point of using those modded machines is, when in the later years we got machines that would play PAL-N from the factory, well... the thing is that those Panasonic are the only machines that can play in PAL-N SLP mode. I wander if this multisystem VCR would play them. We never got them here. Anyway, great find!

    Regarding throwing away electronics. Our hospital had a deal with Dell computers for a few years. Then the hospital settled a bid deal with HP computers. The result was that all the Dell computers and monitors in the hospital went into the dumpster container, regardless of new or old. Some stuff even never unpacked. Its illegal in Norway to pick up state own equipment for private people/dumpster diving (most hospitals in Norway are government state owned), but we did it anyway, to save some for the environment. Mental.

    Dam, I guess I will have to visit that vv and see what they have. Always fun looking for deals. I don't get caught up in the frenzy of bidding for crap on eBay or even Facebook marketplace these days is getting a bit too expensive. I think people go on eBay and look things up and see what dreamers are asking for prices and put the same price on their crap. Case in point someone asking $99 for an old grundig radio. Okay those old radios are nice but even a fully restored radio is not worth no $1,000. Fully restored couple hundred bucks is what one would be worth. I get a kick out of people advertising these old ancient grundigs especially since the FM band on a lot of them because they were imported out of Germany runs from 76 to 100 MHz. So basically using them here you get half the band. The only way to get the entire band is to have them returned and then the dial will be inaccurate. As far as the shortwave bands go the last time I listened to shortwave but the only thing I can find on there was the god channels. Everything else it was interesting to listen to from my youth, radio Havana radio Moscow radio Australia, voice of America etc they're all gone. I used to scan through the shortwave bands listing for anything that I could understand and listening to some cool music from other parts of the world that you did not hear on domestic radio. Occasionally you would catch some pirate station which was always fun to listen to. Over the last 20 years however I haven't heard much but I scanned the band a lot of noise lot of static ham radio operators but not much in the way of commercial radio other than the religious services.

They're terribly displayed - in their camera bags and totally buried on a metal shelf behind the counter. Nobody even knows they're there.

I grabbed a fully working Canon Hi8 camera with all accessories and a working battery in absolutely as-new condition for $30 and another Canon 8mm in awesome shape with two working batteries for $20. Tip: if the price is high, ask them if they're willing to reduce it. If it's been sitting there long enough, some of the managers will be flexible.

    Hi there, Thanks very much for all your informative videos. You've helped me in repairing a number of electronic appliances round the house. I was wondering if you might advise me in a little issue I'm having with my Samsung VCR machine. The machine itself was manufactured in 1995 and was sold in South Africa as Diamond Head. I've got it running wonderfully after many years of not being used but I've noticed that it often doesn't rewind tapes right to the beginning of the tape. Sometimes it does so perfectly, other times it slows down its rewind too early and stops leaving a length of tape still to go. I've checked the belt and that seems surprisingly good after so many years. Is there something obvious I am missing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not complaining that's not a bad price for that unit they sell for a couple hundred bucks I'll hang on to it just so that I can convert tapes for clients if they bring me a pal tape. Used to see tons and tons of European tapes back in the day but not anymore everybody is just sending files back and forth for their family videos and stuff now right sending them over Facebook or whatever through their phone not sending bulky VHS tapes back and forth through the post but back in the '90s and into the early 2000s it was a very busy business actually '80s late '80s right through to the early 2000s it was a very brisk business. I remember when I first got into the conversion business there was a shop in town that was charging $70 an hour and I started at 50 bucks an hour and then it went to 40 bucks an hour and then a guy local started charging less for repeat customers he started charging them $25 an hour and then I went to $20 an hour and the bottom fell out because we were converting tapes dirt cheap just to get the business but it was a steady stream. Then when smartphones got smarter and the internet got faster it kind of killed that business completely and it's a nice machine to have just in case but I certainly wouldn't spend any money like the $25 I spend on this that's the most I would ever spend on one even at that it might take me a while to make that money back considering how few tapes that we actually see anymore in the different standards. I had one last year and that was the first tape that I had in several years and it was one that someone had found that had been sent over in the 90s and they just had it sitting in a box and it never bothered to get it converted

    Automatic VHS/SVHS switching looks for a hole in the tape shell to see if it is a SVHS tape. I guess this detection is not used on this deck so you can record SVHS onto a regular VHS tape, this works most of the time fine for good quality tapes. Doing so loses the ability of automatic switching. SVHS tapes were much more expensive and much rarer to find.

  • @12voltvids

    The hole in the bottom of the tape was for the recording circuit to detect a super VHS tape and make the recording in the high-band mode. For playback the switch was never used. I have other sqpb capable VCRs and there is no switch to detect the svhs hole. They detect the tape is recorded in schs by the frequency coming off the tape. I ate at the same thing one of the detection holes was punched on the bottom of the tape. I used svhs for years on regular tapes just punch a hole in the bottom where the detection hole was and the deck would record it or better still just defeat the switch on the VCR and it would record svhs on regular tapes. The last generation of JVC VCRs were released they were called svhs ET. They could record a super VHS signal onto a standard tape at almost the full resolution. If you recorded a tape in svhs ET and tried to play it back on a regular machine the picture was degraded but not as degraded as if you played a full svhs tape on it. It was a compromise that would bring the resolution close to a full super VHS tape on a regular tape and still maintain somewhat backwards compatibility for standard VHS players. I do have a couple of svhs ET machines perhaps when I'm shooting at my next video I'll do a demo I'll take it as VHS ET machine do some recording in ET mode on a regular tape and play it back on a regular machine and show you what happens. It does appear however that on this sv5000 svhs playback was an afterthought. Every other VHS deck that I have seen that has super VHS playback ability automatically detects if the tape is recorded in super VHS. I generally hang on to these machines because almost 100% of the recordings that I made personally and I have a bunch of tapes still that I haven't transferred we're recorded in supervhs most of them on regular tapes because I wanted the picture quality the super VHS gave. the big difference between using a run-of-the-mill regular tape and an expensive super VHS tape incidentally wasn't the resolution it was the signal to noise. Recording super VHS on a regular tape the quality was very good it's just image was a little more grainy than using a real tape. I used real tapes for production work or quality was required but when I was just recording off TV I used a regular tape because they were cheap.

    That is to manually select the tape system. There are many systems. Color system ntsc, pal, pal N, Pal M, secam and mesecam. There is also an ntsc 4.43. Now the difference is between these and they're all based on the three color systems ntsc pal and secam. Secam has 2 systems. French secam and middle east secam. They are similar but different. They french do things differently. Back to pal and ntsc. Ntsc is based on a 525 line system at 60 Fields or 30 frames. Pal is based on a 625 line system at a frame rate of 25 frames 50 fields. Ntsc color is based on a sub carrier of 3.579545 MHz. Pal uses a color some carrier of 4.43 megahertz. Now in the early days pal recorders were modified to play ntsc but because the pal color system output the chroma are up converted to chroma to 4.43 they did the same for ntsc video so a new standard was developed called ntsc 4.43. that allowed a pal VCR to play an ntsc tape but not converted. You had to adjust the vertical hold on your television otherwise the picture would roll. In the power systems some countries went with pal but we're operating with a 60 HZ power grid so they operated on a 525 line system using Powell as their color system. I believe that was just Argentina that did that but it's a pal color system operating on a 525 line 30 frames 60 field television standard then there's pal m which was I think that was Brazil and that one used I think it was a 3.5 8 color carrier but still $625 lines. I'd have to look it up because there was a couple of variations either panel I might get the two of them mixed up because it's not a standard that I really saw much of I can't think I've ever used pal am or pal in. Say other than France and France use their French sea cam although the recording on the tape was apparently the same so a middle East cam deck could play a French tape and vice versa just what came out the back was slightly different. Anyway back to the auto setting Auto will try to detect what the incoming signal is off the tape but the problem is it can't differentiate the difference between an ntsc and a pal in because it detects the 525 line system and defaults to ntsc so if you had a pal and tape it would play in black and white so the option is there where you can select the playback mode independently at least that's how my agw one used to work and it's all been 20 years since I use that but it had a switch as well for the different types of tapes but on the egw one it was a physical switch none of this menu driven bullshit. What did strike me as odd is that you had to turn on the svhs quasi playback manually and you had to turn it off manually through a menu. I guess the machine is not smart enough to detect The wider bandwidth for s vhs tapes which is odd because you would think that it could detect that.

I've gotten a couple scores in the last year one was this VCR and I got a Sony TC D5 and I actually got that Sony tcd 5 that I service a while back about the same time as I picked this up I might have even been the same day I forgot I bought a few things. But usually especially value village now is some of the prices they're asking for stuff is just it's creeping up I think some of them they look at what stuff sells for on eBay and they think oh wow this is valuable I see the price creeping up and I won't pay that for it. Usually for a VCR or DVD player while I haven't bought one of those in a while but usually my limit is $15 same for stereo equipment you know 15 or less maybe 20 but once it starts getting more than that I just kind of walk. I walk in and look at a lot of stuff and then just walk out because there's the deals are getting fewer and fewer. Okay should I find a cool one though like I got that that clock with all the gears that spin on it for $2 that was a good one and I got a digital photo frame for $2 you know sorry so often I find ones that are half decent I picked up an iPad for $5 the only problem is I can't get into it because the person that had it has it's all locked your Apple ID is locked and apple won't unlock an iPad when you buy it even if the person died the only way you can get it unlocked is if you go to Apple with a death certificate.

    Something that many people don't realize is that even though these sqpb machines can play a super VHS tape, they don't have the specialized circuitry that super VHS machines had as far as noise reduction chroma noise canceling and all the other tricks that were done on super VHS. They also do not have the S-Video connector on them. So they will play a super VHS tape but they will not improve the quality to a real super VHS machine. They will improve the picture slightly over standard VHS, but the real reason that these machines existed was so that someone could play a super VHS recorded tape without requiring a full super VHS machine. They are always advertised as being able to play back a super VHS tape at regular VHS quality. So they were compatible feature not a performance enhancing feature that was how they were designed so that they could play a super VHS tape. For that they do the job quite well it gives a person that has a super VHS tape the ability to play it. This is important for someone who say doing tape conversions as a business because you never know what's going to walk in the door you need the ability to play different formats of tapes so having one machine that can play those tapes even at normal quality is going to be fine especially when you're converting from say pal or sea cam to ntsc or vice versa because you lose quality during that conversion anyway it's more of the ability of it to play the tape. One of these days I'll get around to dragging out my multi-system monitor and I can play around with that on camera and show you guys a difference and play a real pal tape in pal on a power monitor and the same with that secam tape. It's a small JVC multi system monitor that I probably paid about $800 for back in the '80s when I was doing a lot of conversions. Most conversion centers did not have a multi-system monitor so when they did a tape conversion they had to convert it back to ntsc to make sure that the tape actually converted. I bought the proper monitor so that I could show my clients this is how it's going to look when the tape gets where it's being sent. I haven't used that little TV in many years. It'll be interesting to see if it still works as it's been in storage probability 15 years now.

They are pretty good at replacing the board but not replacing the shipping charges that I had to pay. There is a video on my channel of my plasma being repaired the first board arrived and I had basically three quarters of a picture they did make good and send me a second board but again I had to pay the shipping so, first board cost me $15 plus $20 shipping so 35 bucks and then I had to order another one and it cost me another $25 shipping. You would think that if they sold you something that was defective and they were shipping you another one at least they would cover the cost of the shipping. They actually wanted me to ship the defective part back at my expense I told them would be cold day in hell before I'd pay to send them a dead part back

    Probably the wrong drum was put on. Many VCRs forehead VCRs used two double azimuth heads. One head would be an sp a field and an EP B field and the other side of it would be an sp b field followed by an EP A field other drums would be an sp a and ep a on one side and sp b and ep b on the other. The heads will look identical and will even fit. A normal playback it'll work fine because you have an a field on one side for both SP and EP and you have a b field on the other side for both spdp what would end up happening is when you're playing a tape and normal playback you'd have an SP head from the a field and an EP head for the B field because it's using the opposite head on the same chip when you play an EP tape it would end up using one SP and one EP had which may degrade the picture slightly but it would probably play just fine however when you try to use slow motion or freeze frame and the machine tries to pick a single field in other words it's an SP tape it will use the a field SP head and it would use the a field EP had mounted on the other side of the drum to create a stable picture because as I mentioned before they had to be configured spa e p b on one side of the drum and spb EPA on the other if you've got the same field on both sides regardless when it tries to select it's going to have an a field playback and a b field playback at the same time so it's going to be reading both fields and if there's any motion between the two you're going to get that flickering picture. Now it's possible that dihedral adjustment is out on the head however I dihedral adjustment error would cause playback problems as well. So I think they had you put on was a different design.

    Shame they didn't put a format button on the front, no messing with annoying menus. You have done really well with thrift shops 😀 Sometimes repair or just parts. I would still wander in just to see what they have, at least you walk out laughing lol. i volunteered at the local salvation army shop doing electronic/mechanical repairs. The covid virus finally made me not want to work in a shop full of unknown virus carriers.

    15:10 - SECAM was indeed a shit format, and the color noise didn't only appear on tape, but on live TV signal too, if it was noisy even just a bit. It's also the format with the worst color reproduction. The Wiki page claims that SECAM is free of dot crawl, but it's simply not true, and I even see some of that artifact even on this video. SECAM was the accepted format in the Eastern Bloc until the collapse of the USSR.

    That's what I've heard from people that have experienced it. The French version apparently was not quite as bad as the middle Eastern version of secam. I myself have only witnessed it off of VHS tapes and it's terrible. I do have a multi system CRT monitor that can display ntsc 3.58 ntsc 4..43 PAL (both the 525 and 625 line versions) and SECAM. So I can play these native tapes on a CRT monitor and it looks every bit as bad as being converted. One of these days I'll drag that monitor out and show it off maybe with this machine feeding it. for all I know the TV doesn't work anymore because it hasn't been used in 20 years but it is in storage. It was a damn expensive TV I think I paid about $800 for this 14-inch set but it was an absolute necessity to have when I was in the tape conversion business as I needed to be able to verify that tapes that were being sent to other countries would play correctly and more so when someone gave me a tape to transfer that it was any good before attempting the transfer. I remember before I had a multi system monitor and someone brought me a tape to convert and I couldn't get any color I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I had no color. Well the tape itself had no color on it that's why it was a tape that had originally been done in secam and someone copied it onto a pal recorder which of course just recorded the video portion no chroma. Then that tape got sent over to their relatives over here that brought it to me to convert.

    How times have changed haven't they. Back 40 years ago nobody would have thought a thing about it. Remember the movie crocodile Dundee? And what he used to do! I think probably Europeans are more open though and wouldn't make a big deal about it but it seems as of late that you look at someone the wrong way and all of a sudden you're getting charged with assault or harassment. even comedians these days have to watch what they say because they never know who they're going to offend
