The JVC U-Matic machine is REALLY clean. Amazing find.

I worked at the local community college in the late 80’s. They had a lot of U-Matic machines on carts and a back room full of even then vintage units like the JVC. They had an entire wall of Sony rack mount units for routing into rooms. I suppose all of that equipment is long gone.

I have finally got around to connecting up the BR-6400U, and with a good pre recorded tape and the audio connected to my hifi the sound is superb, and the picture quality is fantastic, i think i will install it in the family room as a talking point for visitors who think i am mad anyway.

Oh i re lamped the meters in the BR-6400U by the way.

The U-Matic is also working fine, one of the U-matic tapes is recorded with some student stuff and even tho it looks like its from the mid 80's the quality is pretty good.
