As a demonstration video for my blog, I created
this video which demonstrates the misc. functions
of the tape loading mechanism of a UMatic video
tape recorder, model Sony VO5630. It shows
different drive functions like tape loading,
playback, fast forward/rewind, stop, eject, ...
always explained by a short German introduction. Tags :UMaticU-MaticVTRVideo-Tape-Recorder
My school's old 3/4" Video cassette recorder.
Found under school stage, the eject lock was
seized and the tapes indicate it was last used
1983.
Made by Sony and released 1971 they were the first
VCR. Tape spools ran opposite directions and
overlapped. This presumably reduced tape curl.
I've been told it's the first u-matic with
recording options. Some previous models could only
play-back. U-Matic became a success because The
Ford Motor Company bought about 500 prior to the
introduction. The introduction was in fact sooner
in the USA than in Japan.
The model was also available with a tuner on the
right side instead of the two channel mix
facility.
Here we see inside. There's one big motor which
drives the lot. The tape lacing mechanism I've
adapted because short stout drive belts are hard
to come by. For the time being it needs manual
help spooling and it's too fast unspooling. It
records a bit of a fuzzy picture similar to
Youtube Quality. I've got a CD of the technical
manual thanks to a man in Australia who mailed it
me! Tags :UmaticVO1810SonyVideoCassettevcrtapeold
