Guess I'm very lucky then I've got 2 working betamax camcorders Toshiba and NEC (same machine with different badges). Both were fairly cheap, and the batteries in the Toshiba can actually hold a decent charge yet.
Can't say I've seen many of those but the 2/3 (the third went for more than I wanted to spend) I've had chance to get and test are solid units.
Of course I REALLY got lucky on my SuperBetaHiFi deck...It was $5 in the not working pile of a local electronic parts/junk/surplus shop, but aside from the 2X, 1.5X, still step trick play buttons (which are not absolutely necessary) not working, it otherwise functions perfectly.
