Sony SLO-1400 Industrial Beta hi-fi Power Remote Demo and Custom Threading Belt January 2025
Demonstrating the power remote feature that automatically places the SLO-1400 in record mode when AC power is supplied.
Loading issue: A worn threading belt prevents the unit from lacing the tape around the video drum. Some assistance by hand is needed. New replacement belts are hard to come by. Until a new threading belt can be sourced a custom belt is fabricated from a common silicone band.

A work in progress SLO-1400 Duplicator from 1983-84. Beta hi-fi. 710 chassis. Very similiar to SL-5200. Still needs work but it's a lot further along from where it was. Recommended for the die hard collectors only. Information for this Beta is scarce. Oddly however, some new old stock parts appear to be still available: sony.encompass.com/model/SONSLO1400

    Very very nice! Really love the C6/ 710 decks and this duplicator is fantastic. I'm not aware of them ever being used in Europe; the SLO1700 I believe was the first duplicator with Beta HiFi as the system used for PAL requires the additional head chips rather than using the upper bandwidth available with NTSC and therefore NTSC Beta HiFi uses the same heads. Really a great machine you have there - looks low hours and well cared for. What was the changer like for it?

    Not to offend but could use a better transfer. When I'm capturing Betamax, VHS, or U-matic (all three formats use color-under) I use my DSR-PD150 and capture it to the DV codec. Then I simply process the video using StaxRip and VapourSynth, using a script that uses QTGMC to deinterlace and nnedi3_rpow2 to upscale to 1080p. I should make a tutorial because the results are quite good for UA-cam.

My pioneer DVR-510H does a much better job but the file is locked on the HD. it has firewire output but i see there's a drop in resolution when i capture direct to pc using Quicktime. thank you

    Love to see this, done this job as former Betamax technician from C20 to SLHF950 (AEP/Europe models). Recommended to replace the upperdrum (standard handeling for SonyNL) as well because it has changed a little bit in diameter. Without replacement upperdrum the new video heads can be decrease faster than normal. Recently i got Service Manuals from SL-HF100, SL-HF150 and the SL-HF950. (only AEP models).

For units I sell refurbished with new heads I'll use a new old stock upper drum A-6760-138-A. but these are getting pretty hard to find, and costly when you do find them.
