Emil Jensen 23rd May 2013 4:52 pm U.K.	Hi   I would NEVER recommend using one of those "wet type" cleaning tapes on a VCR. If you use to much fluid, there is change it will get stuck on the drum. And cause damage to delicate heads.   If you use Older tapes branded tapes that flakes a little or is dirty, i would look for a Tape Rewinder. (I have always used a Rewinder on my Beta tapes) Due to machine keeps the tape laced around the drum. Many video tape rewinders offer a "Cleaning" option of the tape.   Clean your VCR manual. There is a guide on this very page how you handle that. Otherwise if you insist using a cleaning tape, use the Non wet types. They come from Sony & Maxwell.   A gentleman called Mr. Betamax also supply those, along with good quality branded tapes.   Kind regards   Emil

James 21st May 2013 12:58 pm U.K.	Greetings all,   I am just checking to see if anyone out there has a power supply for a Sony SL-HF150 Mine currently has issues and the Transformer is getting real hot and I am not sure why.   James
Chris 20th May 2013 7:20 am U.K.	Hi I have a VTC5000 which I did a full mechanical overhaul on and it worked fine afterwards but the clock was flickering. So I replaced the faulty electrolytic that was causing it and now the power supply appears to be dead. Has anybody got a circuit diagram of the PSU please ?
Ross 19th May 2013 9:59 am U.K.	Has anybody got a Betamax cleaning tape? As my betamax needs a clean. Email me please. Thanks
James 4th May 2013 12:41 am U.K.	Hi guys,   I am looking for a loading mech for a Sony SL-S2000. Hope someone can help.   James
Elliot Denenberg 1st May 2013 8:45 pm U.K.	Looking to buy used Betamax Pal player with universal power supply. Must be in good working condition.
Noel Higgins 1st May 2013 4:54 am U.K.	Alex,   I have emailed you the service manual pages relating to that board so you can repair it.   regards Noel
Noel Higgins 30th April 2013 1:27 am U.K.	Roderick,   Thanks for the info. I have tried that before and yes it locks the machine up.   Alex, OK on the second board. I have replied direct and can supply one if nothing is available in the UK.   regards Noel
Roderick 30th April 2013 12:38 am U.K.	Noel, you can find all the old messages here: http://www.chatpage.co.uk/betamax/archive.html   Be aware that it does go back to the very beginning of the board AND has all the spam too so it will take some time to load.
Alex R 29th April 2013 7:34 pm U.K.	Noel The problem is not the first board, it is the second within the heat sink tin, this takes in 12v and converts to 6v AC, 48v dc and 32v dc if memory serves. The 12V supply section of the Power supply is working fine. The board looks in a bad shape and looks like it has been tampered with before so a complete replacement would be preferred,   Alex
Noel Higgins 29th April 2013 7:17 pm U.K.	Alex,   Its OK I found your request telling me its an SLHF950UB on another site.   There is another way to solve your problems, just throw that old board away.   That main AC/DC board converts down to 12V at a maximum of 4Amps required for the DC/DC convertor board that does the rest. Thee are efficient outboard laptop computer 240VAC/ 12V DC switch mode supplies that can do the job for you available on eBay.   You just need to mount a 2.1mm DC socket on the rear of the SLHF950 and connect that trough to the white plug that connects to the next board. Either use the socket off the main board to make a lead or cut off the original plug and solder to extend the wiring. Then plug in the external supply to get the machine back into operation.   You can mount the supply in the space left from the part you took out but that requires more work and you can get coupling effects and interference from the switchmode supply to the tuner. AS you don't have analogue TV anymore that might not be an issue.   Noel Higgins= Australia (Betaheaven.com)
Noel Higgins 29th April 2013 7:03 pm U.K.	Alex,   What model Sony beta machine is that power supply board from?   regards Noel
Noel Higgins 29th April 2013 7:01 pm U.K.	Hi guys,   Seems to be not much history left in the messages.   regards Noel (betaheaven.com)

Ross 26th April 2013 8:39 pm U.K.	Bought a new tv today and connected my Betamax player and it worked :) However, the whole time I played the video, it jumped all the way through. It also kept switching from color to black and white. Also, it was very hard to hear the people speaking even when the volume was turned right up. So, I tried a few other tapes and the same thing kept happening. Is it safe to say that, this betamax is dead? The Sony C6
