That's great to hear. The later Sanyo caps found in Sony machines are much more reliable but still worth checking!

any clear video showing how to clean betamax heads? have several VCRs and used to clean them up, but no luck with BETAs

What is the solution to the middle stained folding of the first video you showed?

Thank you so much for the question. If you watch the whole video it does explain how to fix this but I do have to say there are several things that can cause poor servo lock on these machines but check the servo board for bad capacitors and any 'browning' of the board underneath any of them - a true tale-tale sign they are leaking. Hope this helps.

Hello, very nice repair video. Which cleaner do you use for cleaning the components and boards? Isopropanol?

To be honest I just use a brush. I don't like using any chemicals on the PCBs if I can help it to protect the varnish.

you need to remove the case and all other boards , to get the servo board loose? really get me trouble to reach it

You do - I tend to access it from underneath but you can also access it from above but if you do that, you still need to drop the YC-28 board so it's a little less effort (maybe!) to just access it from underneath...

I saw the video from Video99 and Technology Connections too which was quite an interesting comparison. Who do you think gave the best conclusion to the Beta debate?

eBay has become a little odd - kit that doesn't work seems to go for way too much or just not sell. Interested in ADAT but that'll be a while yet on the channel but I might get one if they are cheap at the moment. Good luck with your HF100.
