Nice machine.

Did you happen to find any tapes?

Update:

I left this plugged in all winter. Good electronics but bad tape transport Sad

Out of about 6 Beta machines I've looked at in the last few years, I only managed to repair one. Luckily it was a high end late model unit (bad STK power supply chip), and sold it for $200 on eBay. I have one lower end Hifi machine for me, to transfer my extensive Beta collection to DVD.

I own a bunch but doubt many are working at this point. My Beta collecting days were 2000-2002.

On another note would anyone like this machine just for the cost of packing and shipping?
