  • For all those saying for him to upgrade..i mean what's wrong with hanging with oldschool technology? You can still be in the 21st century and like old technology, one thing doesn't stop the other!

    I have a 2010 awesome computer and i still use a 1998 computer with a 3dfx card to play online some glide games.

    I have a awseome media center connected to my huge lcd tv and i still have a old VHS coupled with it to play old vhs.

    Anyway this video is rather old, did you managed to fix that betamax?

  • @rick62008 No, but I have since acquired an an SL-5000 and it is working fantastically.

  • I got it for free and I LOVE those chunk sounds! LOVE those chunk sounds!

  • Dry caps

  • is not really broken,is just the picture refuse to adjust it.

  • thats a broken videohead

  • you sound like elvis! uh hu hu! yeah

  • I´ve got a 1985 ad for the SL 5000

    It says "A VCR so adwavenced you don´t even need to push POWER Button????" Automatic Cassette Front Loading System

    What difrenece with HF 5000?

  • Most of the issues with thease sony vcr's was caps in the servo circut and also drum caps inside the drum motor is a cap as well sometimes fail.

  • I really have no idea what may be causing your issue, but usually VCR issues tend to be mechanical, so I don't know if replacing the caps will really do anything in your case.

    However, replacing the blue Sanyo capacitors WILL work on the SONY (not SANYO) SL-5000 series VCRs.

  • I have a mechanical clicking sound about every 5 seconds, I looked and its a series of like hinged arms the are repeatly being push out from a piston behind and to the left of the big spinning circle. If I replace all the capacitors will this cure this 1980 Sears/Sanyo 5050. I got it free and can afford to make a mistake learning
