Sony SL-F30UB - Betamax.
« on: July 30, 2015,11:13:28 »
Hi folks,
Have one in that customer bought 'working' from the Flea - Will suggest returning it if fix isn't pretty easy.

Tape loads, then on pressing any button of action, Drum twitches but won't spin - Machine then goes into 'Sulk' mode 'till tape is ejected. Tried giving the drum a quick spin to get it started, but it just wants to twitch.

Haven't done a Betamax for nearly 20 years but favoured Sanyo, as was near always the belts/idlers. This Sony just has one intact toothed belt for loading.

Wonder if anyone remembers ? - Thanks - Chris.

Later - As a bit of fun - Eventually noticed the first Beta tape supplied and tried had a break and therefore no tape to be loaded. Suspected might be the problem, but it wasn't, as second tape was intact but drum still twitched.
