All the units I’ve saved so far

3 Goodwill, 2 Marketplace, and the JVC was from a local PC/AV store.

Learned to do some basic cleaning, these heads were GNARLY! All functioning now though. A couple were eating tapes at first, but with determination and Google I was able to get it done. Shout out to all the experts in here and the AV forums.

They’ll be used for digitalization as well as some video art and then rehomed.

I was hoping any gearheads could share some knowledge on any of these 4-heads.

I’ve done excessive research regarding the JVC and its capabilities because she’s kind of an oddball.

Going to keep this one!! Had this color mix in my head for a while and ordered the parts over time. The buttons from Ali are a mm or two tall, so they ever so slightly lift the screen in the closed position. Going to take a break from working on Lite’s to work on some other projects- I’ve learned a lot and had a lot of fun breaking and fixing and playing on these things.
