The high school that I went to had a Sony VTR that was a 1/2 Reel to Reel. The middle school had one as well, a smaller version. Both took the 7 inch reels and played for an hour. During the science fair, in 1984 at the middle school, I brought an old 1950's tv into the auditorium as part of my project. There was no cable hook up but the VTR was available and had a channel 3 RF modulator in it so that's what I used for the signal. The tapes I ran were old basketball games recorded in the gym, probably 10 years before. One of the tapes had several segments of school house rock on it and that's what I ran. When I went to high school a year later, they had stacks of videotape with basketball games, probably from late 70's. My job was to erase them all with a magnetic bulk tape eraser, and I did. Little did I know that I destroyed a piece of history, which in that day was not a huge deal. One of my neighbors brought a tape over to have transferred that was done at his company using their machine. It was a 1965 video made of a pretend newscast which was interesting. The end of the tape had some candid videos of kids playing in the gym. Another video that was used by the police department was a mock trial called, "The trial of John Spencer" taped in 1974. I watched it through once and attempted to duplicate it on VHS but the quality was not worth the bother.

Not just that. The fact that there's a lot of noise on the video when the motor is on makes those head brushes and slip rings the prime suspect. Get those cleaned, and see if there's a video signal coming through with an oscilloscope.

I would clean everything, touch up solder joints, You'd be surprised what touching up solder joints can do, and even test and replace the capacitors. Also that computer chip board looks a bit dirty. You could maybe put the boards in the dishwasher. I used to work at a small electronics factory where we made static and moisture meters and we would wash the boards in a dishwasher to remove the flux from soldering. then blew off the water with an air compressor. If you can't fix it, send it over to 12voltvids, he can fix things like this.

Cellulose which celluloid is made from, tends to suck moisture up. Its a nature of the material. Its a product made from wood. This is what causes sticky tape syndrome. Baking your tapes at 90 degrees in a dehydrate setting for a couple hrs will restore the tape to new condition. Placing the tapes into ziplocks with a desiccant bag will help preserve your tapes.

Did you try cleaning the heads (sideways not up and down). We had a similar reel to reel VCR at school. It was operated by the school librarian who had a monitor in his office so he could see when the picture started to degrade which would happen after about 30 minutes of playback. He would then come and clean the heads using an air duster while the tape was still running restoring normal operation for the next 30 minutes.

Odds are the sticky tape gummed up the heads. However, if it's not passing a video in signal out to the TV, that suggests something else is bad. I'd never see a time-lapse open reel like that. That must have cost a small fortune back in the day. I'd think it would have to be used in a bank or casino or other high-value place. It would have been too expensive for the Kwik-E-Marts of the day.

So pot bad audio does indeed mean that one of the audio channels is having difficulties. It could be tied to those wires you were looking at (especially the one that fell out) and probably was always that way. In the radio/music industry, we would have to remove the entire audio controller (pot) and clean them out. My guess is that's why it was labeled that way.

You should get a Video DAC, back when CD's were really expensive, some people would record 16 bit digital audio onto video tape, usually VHS but if you had one of these VTR's that worked really well you could do it with one of them too.
@Stoney3K5 жыл бұрын
You mean the stuff that is in a DAT deck? DAT is pretty much the exact same but instead of a VHS transport they used a Sony Hi-8 cassette to make the tapes smaller. The reason they used the 44.100 and 48.000Hz sample rates is because they lined up nicely with the timing of existing video circuitry.

I repaired these units in the middle 70’s. Changing record time did not effect quality. It would increase the time between recorded picture frames. The green connector was known as an 8 pin. It contained video in/out and audio in/ out in one connection. The audio did nothing in time lapse mode. The drum servo was controlled by an electro magnet that would slightly slow down the head spin speed to properly sync the record frames. The pot bad audio indicated this audio level pot was defective. I believe the Hall motor drove the capstan in time lapse mode. Replacing the head bar required inserting a foil thin shim or two under one or both sides of the bar assembly to minimize the guard band width.

I'm pretty sure that EIAJ tape and VHS/S-VHS tape are incompatible as they scan through the heads in different manners. Tape speed may be an issue too.

Ive tried this before on my national colour VTR, the audio plays but there is no picture as the heads scan at a different position. hence why the head on a normal vcr is slanted to fit more onto the tape.

The head position in a U-Matic or Betamax is pretty similar to the old VTRs though, so that may be worth a try.

@SianaGearz5 жыл бұрын
Even VHS had a fairly decent implementation of helical scan audio, known as Hi-Fi VHS, but the recording channel is not exclusive to audio so this is likely not what you're looking for. A practical issue is that the helical pattern introduces a discontinuity that is not a problem for video because you have a perfect switchover point during vertical blanking period, while on audio, you need one of two things, either supreme precision of the complete mechanics and extremely durable tape, or digital recording where you can just pause at the end of the swing and continue filling an asynchronous buffer whenever you get a pilot signal again. So yes, there's DAT and it makes total sense there.
