Anyone familiar with SANYO BETACORD machines?

[cjacek]

Thanks Tom. I'm embarrassed to say that the only Sony Beta that I do have, it's got record problems - I only found out later when I spent tons of time changing all belts, idlers and cleaning it up. Mechanics work but it's got electronic problems. I'm at the point where not only don't I want another early Sony but I'm probably gonna give this one away. But the point is that I've heard some people echo what you said that the Sanyos indeed have better reliability. Can you talk a little about the built quality of these Sanyos? And what is it about the SuperBeta that interests you? I must say I've also been looking into those. Thanks for your time.
