  • beautiful piece of music from 00:20 onwards

  • I bought that model in June 1981 for $600. Weighed a ton. Remote pause woopy.

    It packed it in in about 1987.

  • Nice one

  • Love it !!

    Sanyo had the "that's Life" campaign for sometime.. I wonder if Derryn nicked it off them ?

    Poor old betacord .. a superior system but destined to become a Clock.

    I still have some beta tapes recorded between 1980 and 1984 and they've retained a slightly better picture qualitry than their VHS counterparts.. but that could be because they haven't been played so often.

    Thanks for posting and here's to Michael Pate as well !!

    Classic !!
