My second VCR was one of these beauties. It was bought in late 1993 or early 1994 and I paid nearly £800 for it (£1600 adjusted at time of posting). My friends and family thought I was bonkers paying that much for a video recorder, but it was used daily (and on some days, _very_ heavily) for over a decade and never let me down. The editing features were second to none. Glitch-free frame-accurate insert editing with stereo dubbing was like voodoo. Its only shortcoming was a lack of an ACG option on the audio inputs. There were a few times when I forgot and left the levels too high or too low after using an external source, only to leave my next TV recording with sound that was too quiet or clipped. But that was literally my only complaint. At an ownership cost of about 20p per day over its lifetime, it remains one of the best value items of technology I've ever owned.
@@t0nito absolutely but I don’t have an RF modulator - and being an editor it was still fun to source the clips, edit then transcode to SD and burn a DVD just to fake the TV experience.
Hi .... I have broken a valve on my AC 11 and am trying to identify it to purchase another. Looking in the back of radio it is the far left rear valve. Could you advise on the number if the valve please.
Hi, I’m no engineer I’m afraid, but I have a manual that lists 5 valve types used. They are: UCH42, UF41, UBC41, UL41, and UY41. Hope this may help, and thanks for watching😁
This model was the best you could have at home in the 90s. Because of guilt of my parents, they never let me, not even paying for it with my first job. I had a Panasonic camcorder and I wanted it to edit. I had to settle for a Sony VHS, which had nothing to do with it
i had a simular model in the uk, one of the most unreliable machines ive ever had ! my matsui (orion) machine from the early 90s is the only machine that has never needed a repair yet that ive owned
Back in the mid-90's I had an editing system that was made up of a Panasonic NV-FS200B and NV-F77B linked with an edit controller that used the 5pin remote sockets to control the 2 machines. The FS200 with it's TBC was the player for stuff shot on my S-VHS camcorder and the F-77 was the editing recorder but it was VHS only.
besides the BBC Radio 4 sample, the tapes apparentlly include recordings of shortwave broadcasts. Do you intend to digitalise some old reel to reel recordings? It got interesting when you showed your reel to reel recorder, but nothing was done with it. I hope the DCC could be refurbished. It's surface doesn't look in good shape, with many scratches visible upon close up.
Hi thanks for watching and listening. The tapes are location recordings of Atmos or wild tracks in India. The Grundig reel to reel is just being used as a monitor, I have a video of that machine too.
I had a black Cortelco push button phone on my BT line in London in 2001. The ring was loud but not as loud as a Western Electric rotary phone I had. On its loudest setting the rotary phone really was loud! @@richfish101
