Sony EDV-9000 full restoration

[@Nathriel]

I bought an EDV-9000 at Wattman when I lived in Japan and planned to restore it, but that was years ago. This video will make that possible. Thank you!

[@rwdplz1]

That head repair was insane.

It's better to hide your address. This is my first time to see the inside of the head drum. Thank you very much!! You are smart guy.

[@CousinHubertRetrogaming]

Hello! i have bought a fully repaired EDV9000 from Japan, but the sound has too much bass and not enough trebble, is there a screw inside to set it ? maybe on this little metal case with 3 adjstment screws on the 30:02 right part of the inside?

[@misu4602]

Hi CousinHubertRetrogaming ! What the output sound did you test ? Normal sound or Beta hI-Fi sound ? EE mode or playback mode ?

[@CousinHubertRetrogaming]

@@misu4602 thanks for reading my message! every betamax cassette, either beta hifi or normal sounds with a lack of trebble and too much bass, and when i push betahifi button, the light comes on on the front fascia "beta hifi" but the sound is exactly the same. my other betamax vcr sound good.

[@misu4602]

@@CousinHubertRetrogaming I think the Beta Hi-Fi circuit was bad, maybe there are some bad capacitors or NG regulator circuit.

[@4-toon]

good job I have a question? Which system do you prefer betamax or vhs?

[@misu4602]

Hi Tariq ! In my country, Betamax is not common , but for the picture quality, I prefer Betamax.

[@4-toon]

I agree with you, but maintenance is a bit complicated

[@misu4602]

@@4-toon Yes, Betamax decks are carefully designed and complicated.

こんばんは!　いつもアップしている素晴らしい動画拝見しております。 私のベータデッキのカセコンも同じく故障しましたが、この動画の17分ぐらいにでる、やすり(?)の種類を教えていただけますでしょうか。

[@misu4602]

みみののさん、こんにちわ。プラスチックピンが脆くて折れていたので、ボールペン芯で繋ぎました。 ボールペン芯の直径はプラスチックピンの直径と同じではないため、研磨して接着する必要があります。

[@tpd1967]

All sorted now and machine is working perfectly! A small spring in the mech had come loose. I even managed to obtain a new pinch roller….

[@sfjoos]

Wow, what a great work

[@crashezz2456]

Amazing work!👍👍👍 Got EDV-9000 too and having some tracking / jumping colors problem. My freshly repaired EDV-5000 show better picture. I guess it's capacitor problem, have you done any re-cap except that bad smd capacitor on video board and PSU? Would be glad to know! All the best wishes!

[@misu4602]

Hi Crashezz ! I have checked and replace all smd capacitors . Smd capacitors all become bad over time.

[@crashezz2456]

Hi MISU! Thanks for your answer! Yes I just replaced all smd's along with PSU capacitors + a little extra soldering on the PSU as how you did in the video. Now EDV-9000 works great, thanks to you! Any plans on expanding your betamax vcr collection even further?

[@misu4602]

@@crashezz2456 In my country Betamax is not popular and nobody seems to know what format it is. I also only collect a few typical models. I like 70s machines like SL-7100, SL-8300 ...

[@crashezz2456]

It's the same in my country too, almost nobody here knows about this format. But that doesn't matter, I just love analog video. Good luck with those old betamax models!

Hi there, Thanks for your great work. I trying to adjust my 9000. I cannot import the pic quality. There is some noise at the top of the screen. No matter I adjust the tape guide it is still the same. I clean the video head. no change. I did not replace the problem surface mount capacitor. Is the video head gone? please advise

[@misu4602]

Does this problem occur on all tapes or only appear in certain tapes? If you use this vcr to record then playback it , this problem is still appear ?

[@alanwong3980]

@@misu4602 it just happens on ed-beta tapes.

i have a question ... in your video, you don't present the assembly of how to say it... the cassette training. how he hold ???? i have one on my table, he has a trouble with the tray( the soluce is on the way), an the cassette training module who is lousse, can you help me ^^

[@misu4602]

Did your cassette housing have a problem ?

[@tpd1967]

Hi, I have an ed b v-9000 that goes into fast forward mode as soon as you load a tape. It winds for about 10 seconds then the machine powers off! Can you give me any tips? Thanks

[@misu4602]

Hi tpd1967 ! I have not met this problem before but I think that there is a problem with the tape begining sensor.

[@terrysnyder5628]

I bought an EDV 9000, beautiful machine, but the Beta HiFi is choppy at times with clicking sounds, but the carrier seems steady as their do not appear to be dropouts. But on heavy volume with kick drums it drives this HiFI sound with distortion. Either way it’s choppy most of the time. Perhaps it’s caps again, since most dry out, with SMD caps going first. The JVC HR-S8000 sounds much better in HiFi mode. Any advice on choppy HiFi sound?

[@misu4602]

Hi Terry Snyder ! Contrary to you , my HR-S8000 has choppy Hi-Fi sound problem while EDV-9000 still works in good condition. This problem may be caused by many reasons. If Hi-Fi choppy with no picture problem, may be either tape path or Hi-Fi head vertical azimuth are not good , further bad head switching or wrong Hi-Fi FM carry frequency is also a common cause.

[@terrysnyder5628]

Thank you very much for your reply. I guess I am spoiled by the Panasonic AG DS-850 HiFi sound which has been spectacular. But my Panasonic AJ-HD3700B digital HD D5 recorder is perhaps the best sounding of all at 24 bit audio/48 KHz sampling. I will check on the Sony EDV azimuth and tape path. It could be as simple as a bad tape. I will try that since I am new to Beta.

Hi my friend , I try to do what you showing in the video on my head drum and it didn’t go as smooth as you do of course , I’m staying in Malaysia is it any possibility I send the head assembly to you to service it , please let me know how I can contact you . Thanks 🙏

Hi there, Could you advise what ball pen code to report the cassette loading? I cannot get any pen that thick here.

[@misu4602]

Each type of ball pen has different sizes, you should grind and glue to ensure the correct size.

[@MrPitatom]

Hello from Australia. I love your work. I was so impressed that I purchased two of these units. I restored one, and the other one I've almost fixed completely, but the recordings are not very good. The playback is perfect. The recordings have some light colour patterning in them. I'm not sure where to look. Do you have any ideas?

[@MrPitatom]

Actually the SMD capacitor was the cause (5:14). This video helped me restore my EDV-9000. Thank you.
