If you decide you want to have me repair your VCR. Please contact me before shipping it to me so I can watch for it.

DID YOU KNOW?
It is usually much cheaper to have your Beta vcr refurbished than to buy a refurbished unit

Power Supply will be completely checked
 out and old dried out capacitors and
 other components replaced as needed.

Using state of the art test equipment
 I clean and align the video heads and
 the tape path to factory specs.

Video Heads checked and
Aligned using Sony KR5-1V
Professional Alignment
Tape and  Sencore Video
Waveform Analyzer

Your VCR will be completely dissambeled and
all parts and mechanisms inspected.
You will then receive an estimate detailing
the repairs and parts needed.

Above is an example of a typical problem with older Beta VCRs
The belts get old, deformed and brittle. The rubber tires get cracked and
slick from age and no longer grip. This causes the tapes not to play.
It also causes the VCR to "eat" tapes
The old parts are on the right you can see how out of shape they are.

Comments from some of our satisfied customers

 Thanks for your help in getting my Sony Beta SL-HF400
VCR going again. I was able to transfer all of my home
movies to DVD. I even sold the VCR on eBay when I was
finished for more than it cost me for the repair!
THANKS! David M.

I picked up a Sony Betamax at a yard sale for $20.00 and it did not work.
You were able to repair it for $122.52 and I have been enjoying it.
I see the same model Sony selling for $450.00 + on eBay. THANKS !!

VCR works like new! So nice to see my old beta tapes again!!

 Thanks for your work on my Beta. I had it repaired at a local shop and it
worked better but still ate my tapes sometimes. You were able to find that the reel
drive motor torque was weak causing the motor to have trouble pulling the
tape back in to the cassettes.  WOW! Great work ! Julie Z.
