I have a Sony SL-C9 that has the seemingly universal problem of broken plastic gears on the cassette carriage. I have been unable to locate replacements and wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction. Any help would be gratefully received.

Hi Kevin:
Good to here from you :)
The main concern you'll have with these i believe is TAPE MOULD.
You can usually see this from evidence left as a white powdery substance that usually adheres to the inner cassette spool plastic.
If you look through the left hand spool window you'll see this.
If there is, sometimes it's not as bad as it could be and indeed on the later Sanyo's they don't lace for the FF and REW modes.
You can FF the tape, disassemble the cassette and wipe inside the left spool and anywhere else you see this.
Then carefully re-assemble and rewind the tape.If you look inside the Sanyo ( if it's a top loader) then you will see evidence of this dried out mold on the first tape guide and full erase head.
You should be able to insert a cleaning stick and wipe this off without removing the vcr's cover.
Aso if you lift the cassette flap and look at the tape you will see particles of white along the top edge.With a soft small brush you can remove this too.It might take a while finger winding the tape and cleaning, but if you use the procedure i mentioned earlier ,it would've removed most of it.
If the tapes look fine, the tape nice and shiny and relatively without any damage,and it's always best to start playing an older taper by winding it forward in the vcr a second or so, then play them at your leisure.
IF a tape does dirty the heads and continues to do so.Throw it out.It's obviously past it's best.
Hope this helps Kev and enjoy those movies.............

Roderick,
Since a PCM adaptor will produce a monochrome (Y-only) signal, there is no need for a dedicated SECAM unit, as both PAL and SECAM share the same specifications for luminance signals. Therefore, a PAL format PCM adaptor should work perfectly with a SECAM format VCR.

Hi Mark:
The reason you have had no assistance yet is probably because knowone here has come across your problem or that issue yet.
I believe Noel did state that the loading tray guide shelf can get a split in it too, which may cause a similar probelm.
I believe the cog with the split in it may be your problem.
I myself and more experienced with the Sanyo vcr's but i am taking more of an interest in the Sony models.
Indeed if i do come across that issue and investigate further, as you have done, i would be only too happy to assist you.
Let's hope that issue does'nt crop up too often :)
Good luck and please let us know how it goes................Kevin

Well not much help here on the HF950 tray fault so perhaps I can help someone else out who may get the same problem. After dismantling the motor that drives the skate tray from the machine, I discovered the nylon castle shaped coupler on the motor shaft had a split in it. This was causing it to spin on the shaft rather than turning the nylon worm that works the cog to the tray. I have super glued it to the shaft now but don't expect it to last too long, anyone know of a source for one? Unfortunately it is wider and flatter than one the C9 carriage motor(which I have spares for)
I'm also still after a C9 DC DC - spares to trade.

As long as the video signal has the drop out compensator turned of the PCM unit shoudl work with any video source. Whether it is 60Hz NTSC or 50Hz PAL is another issue.

Bill, as owner of several PCM's I can let you know that they will work with any video recorder.
The PCM generates a video signal that contains the audio data which is recorded onto the tape. Playback reverses that. Only thing to look out for is the difference between PAL and NTSC. I don't think there are any SECAM PCM's for some reason.

From an original advertisement reproduced on this site: "We designed the PCM-F1 as a separate processor to give it true operational flexibility. As for recording you can use this unit with ANY videocassette recorder, including Betamax, VHS. U-matic, and 1/4" types. So, if you already own a videocassette recorder. you are in luck. Simply connect the PCM-F1 to your recorder and the system is complete."
Anyone know if the "ANY" in this document is actually true?

Thanks for offering to help Peter John with the hall effect sensor. You are a lot closer than me. Those sensors also appear as parts on the Sony SLC30 series machine capstan and reel motor boards.

Hi Peter.
I have so far successfully changed out three of those on Sony head motors and it does usually cure it.
The resistance you said you feel is good because if that was'nt there the motor drive chip is usually the culprit.I currently have a SLHF950 with exactly that issue.
Send your address details to my e-mail address and i'll send you one.
Two of the legs will be extended as the origional sensor from an old Sanyo capstan motor have two legs long and two short.

betamax sl hf 100. Bought new and stored for long time. Worked fine a month ago then head motor on play fluctuates. Reading about glue and hall sensor stripped unit and carefully de soldered hall sensor. It seems it will have to stay stripped for a long time to come, because I cant find a replacement sensor to try as a first step to rectify fault. Please can any person help.
PS the fast forward and reverse works dragging tape along but then cuts out as head motor just quivering. A lot of pull on the magnet when power is first applied with play button. Peter

A very nice find too.
The best place to offer those would be E-Bay.
You could always seperate the packs and sell them in boxes of 10.
It would make more money for you that way.

Hi!
I inherited from my Dad several cases of Betamax cassettes. All cassettes are still factory sealed, even in the original box. Most boxes were never opened,so also factory sealed.
I can offer the following cassettes
* FUJI videocassette L-370 6 Original-cases with each 10 cassettec and one case with 7 cassettes (opened and three cassettes missing)
* FUJI Videocassette L-500 2Pack x 5, so also a total of 10 cassettes, case never opened, factory sealed
Who would you be interested in buying the whole lot? And if so, what would be your best price? Where would be the best site to offer such cassettes?
I would appreciate a good offer. The cassettes were stored appropriate and are located in Germany.
Sincerely,
Jack

James, I looked at my service manual and my own SL-HF-750 and I see no forward reel adjustment on any of the boards. It's kinda interesting that the Sony beta 300 and 400 series both have pots to adjust some of this out but the 750 doesn't. My 750 reel has so far never failed. Believe it or not the SL-HF-300 and 400 reel adjustment is on the TUNER board not the servo board which makes it real nice to adjust and monitor the results.

James,
This is PALSITE not NTSC site however the 750 model is very similar to the SLHF950 PAL machine which has an issue with the reel motor bearing wearing out and the magnet touches then rubs through the insulation on the coils wires eventually shorting them out causing loss of torque then failure of the electronics. See http://www.palsite.com/950tech.html
You can check to see if this is the problem by observing if the magnet is touching the coils.

Hi...need help with an SL-HF750 that has low take-up reel torque. I used to be a serviceman for these but don't have a service manual anymore. Reel torque adjustment in the servo circuit? Mechanically it is fine. Surely this problem is known in the fleet!
Thank you

I have a Sony SL-HF750 Super Beta Hi-Fi that exhibits tape spillage into the machine (after the pinch roller) causing automatic shutdown. It appears to be due to lack of proper take-up torque on the take-up reel during Play. Fast Forward, X2, Scan work fine. Also, the supply reel only operates for a brief moment during unloading/eject, and actually stops reeling tape before all the tape is back in the cassette, causing the cassette to be ejected with about four inches of tape still hanging outside, although it does not jam the mechanism and the casettes can be removed normally and the tape wound back inside.
I once was a bench technician in a Sony authorized service center in the 80's and used to perform service on the 750 (and lots of other models) when they were relatively new. I am the original owner of this one and have made some minor repairs over the years. But I do not have a service manual for the 750 and would like to know if anyone here recognizes this problem and it's cause and can give me a little help.
I have already checked all the obvious stuff....the brakes and reel tables are clean, and there is nothing broken in the reel mechanism or brake actuators, clutches, etc. It appears as if the reel motor itself is unable to deliver the correct torque in the Play and Unload modes. If I remember correctly there were adjustments that could be made to the reel servo system to set torques and tape tensions...perhaps I am thinking of another model. But it certainly appears as if the problem is electronic in nature. If I had a service manual I could probe further, but as I said I am hoping someone here knows the issue or knows the correct pot to tweak in the reel servo circuit...or at least, maybe someone has a service manual? Any and all help is appreciated.
Thank You

Boby,
The SLHF150 head has two magnets to produce timing pulses which are used to control heads drum speed. The SLHF100 only has one. Therefore you must remove the additional magnet which is in the position that is vacant on the SLHF100 head assembly.
Obviously if the SLHF100 circuit sees twice as many pulses then that affects how it operates.

sorry for the multiple posts anyhow let me revise my post on 6 july regarding GEARS;
What I meant is a threadhing gear (loading Ring), a friend in europe call that ring a threading gear. (quite large RING with 2 chromed jack-stick that guides the tape path)
Friends misunderstood as loading ring that stick on loading tray of C9, (the one that SONY later replace with metallic composed gears).

Did you remove one of the magnets on the new (SLHF150) head to make it the same as HF100 head you were replacing. If you don't it throws out the head servo timing. When I did one and forgot it caused flag waving effects on the screen.

Hi all, well, I have had head disk replaced on my hf100, and it now has a full tracking range on hifi sound, but have a lot of white flashing trails on bright parts of the picture. It cant be the heads as they are brand new! Any ideas? Could the head amp have been adjusted to give better performance with the worn head and now it has new heads the gain is too much and causing this white flashing and ghosting? If so how do I adjust?

As for your 950's tracking of the Hi-Fi.
Consider yourself lucky, those heads must be in SUPERB shape.
The brand new Sanyo M40 i won two years ago, has the same result.As the Hi-Fi audio heads wear down the tracking range for recordings on THAT machine, being played back on it, will get shallower and shallower with the tracking at the extremes , ending up with it just in the center and then the Hi-Fi tracks disappear if you move the control left or right.
Nice one.

Hi Stuart:
I think you'll find 'stereo' on the case means just that Sony (C9, C40) linear stereo edgetrack.
I too have a MGM film with stereo on it and there's definetley no Hi-Fi.
Normally for the Beta Hi-Fi recordings you will se BETA and then Hi-Fi in a little block on the cassette spine.
Mind you not ALL distributors mentioned this , especially on the Beta rentals.
Some Beta Hi-Fi pre recorded tapes are Hi-Fi MONO too, plus the usual mono edgetrack. ( this is usually mentioned as well).
Hope this helps Stu and good luck with the head replacement, something i've never had to do..........as yet..........

Will be having new heads fitted to my hf100 on sunday thanks to set of 150 heads bought from boby on ebay well over a year ago lol. I havent owned an hf100 for over a year but i knew they would be used at some point :)
Question about star wars empire strikes back betamax pre recorded tape I own, it is marked stereo on the cassette shell but the hifi light on my 950 does not illuminate, whereas all my other hifi tapes are fine. Could it be a linear stereo (c9 and c40) stereo tape and not hifi? Is this rare?
My 950 has no hifi dropouts whatsoever no matter where the tracking control is set, even on recordings made on the machine itself. Would you say this is rare?

Hi Sturat.
You've just described perfectly the first sign that those heads are wearing down.
I have just seen Sanyo VTC M40 with exactly the same results that i was asked to overhaul for someone recently.The picture was superb!
The Hi-Fi will always drop out before the picture deteriorates as the Hi-Fi signal goes deeper ont the tape.
The picture will be great for a while and then you will notice deterioration there too.It should be fine for quite some time though.
The ultimate sin of a vcr(apart from tape chewing).

If anyone is interested I have several 100 used Beta tapes for sale in Illinos. Most of them I got from friends who know I still have a Betamax deck or were included with a second hand Betamax I bought. There are a few prerecorded ones, NTSC the rest have a variety of things taped off of TV on them. I have not gone and catalogued them, I know some have no labels, some have wrong labels and some have proper labels. Most are Sony L-750s althought there are other brands and some shorter lengths. I am guessing almost all of them are NTSC..
Depending on how manyyou wantStart off at $1 US each, if you want a few, 5c each if you want more than 30, 3/$1 if you want 90 or more and a quarter each if you want tham all guessing someweere around 300 right now, might ben more, might be less. All prices will be plus shipping.

You may be able to find somone with some.Also i believe Noel said in certain cases they CAN be repaired if the damage is minimal.
As for the U matic page, the best thing to do with timewasting idiots like this it to ignore and not even mention the issues.THAT is exactly what they want to achieve.
Ignore , make no comments about it and one day they will go away.......
Good luck with the gears..............Kevin

Has anybody found a solution for broken loading gears on a C9?
Just got another one with broken gears.....
And in relation to the U-Matic chat page, why not just close it? Ever since this nonsense started nobody has actually posted anything related to U-matics. Why these people bother posting irrelevant cr*p is beyond me but it seems the board is unable to stop it.

Hi, I have recently bought a Sony SL 3000 portable betamax recorder, but when testing it it will play fine for about an hour or so then the picture starts to wobble.
If anyone can suggest a cure i would be grateful. Nigel.

Take another look, Noel, it's up s**t creek again. To the administrators: can't you prevent this stuff getting on a page in the first place? Your excellent guidelines are useless if they don't prevent something like this. Is deleting everything the ONLY way you can clear it after the event? Presumably making the site username and password protected would help, but I for one would HATE to see it go down that road, where you spend fifteen minutes dreaming up usernames and passwords and answering a questionnaire in order to ask one small question. There must be some other way.
Regards,
Bill

Hi Kevin (& any board administrator....)
Firstly if you click U-matic from the home page, it takes you to the Betamax page, confusing if you are new to this board.
Secondly, have you had a look at the U-matic page? It has been like that for the last few months but nobody seems to care enough to sort it out.
Sad.

Hi Anthony.
If you look to the top left of this page you'll se one listed for U matic.
That is where you need to post that message.
This is purley Betamax (PAL).
Good luck with your endeavours too...............

I have a National Panasonic Umatic edit suite which was originally in the office of the financial times in the 1970 s, it is in excellent condition and I have owned it since 1984.
The set consists of an A960 CONTROLLER, AN NV9240 PLAYER/RECORDER & AN NV9600 RECORDER, it really is pristine but needs a good home now that I am moving house.
