I aquired a Sony BVH-1000 & a BVT-2000 TBC a few years ago and have built up a small collection of type C 1" tapes. I used to work with the RCA gestation of the same VTR back in the early 80's in the Chicago market and was familiar with maintaining them. I stumbled on this one while on a trip to southern CA. It was cheap but no guarantee to function. It was clean and the drum appeared to be ok plus the fact I was driving back home to Salt Lake City so I thought I'd take a chance on it. Turns out the VTR still runs great and it appears it was fairly well maintained over it's life. I aquired the TBC through an Ebay auction about a month later and it too still works perfectly. It's all set up in a roll around rack now and my tape collection is growing. I recently aquired some NASA 1" master tape's that are probably one of a kind and I am always looking for more tapes to add to the collection. Hint Hint!
