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.

Hahahaha.Great news.
I still got my Superbeta Hifi here on the side.I have to fire it up and give it some movement.I bought it new in 1987 and got 12 years use out of it until the beta supply ran out.
