- From 1990, this is a very well taken care of Sony VHS VCR. All it needed was re-greasing...everything needed re-greasing.
Sorry if the video seems to be all over the place. I lost of a bunch of footage due to technological incompetence.

Of course, as soon as I have this video was uploading I notice the guidepost that pulls the tape out (P5 I think?) had started to gum up. So that got fixed as well.
its a common problem
That thing is unbelievably beautiful! And in that state, with the box and all the paperwork... What a score!
I had this VCR when I was a kid. I miss the quality it gave us. The sounds it made when loading a tape is extremely nostalgic now!
great video
Sony started making VHS decks in 1988 and continued making Beta decks for the US until 1993
Yeah I think 12voltvids said their first VHS machines were the SLV-555 (predecessor to this one) and the SLV-757 (shown in the brochure). Their last Beta VCR in 1993 was the SL-2000 right?
Funny to see in the brochure all the remotes without LCD screen. All the European Sony VHS models that time had a LCD-screen on the remote for very easy timer setting.
I saw a German Sony VCR with a remote with LCD on ebay. Looks very different from the Sony remotes we had over here. The buttons, design, layout, everything.
These are good machines. Electronics are usually perfect. Mechanics are normally the half load arm, blue gear and capstan bearing. Easy to work on and great picture. I have (2) of the 575s and a 676
Wow,,, wow,,,,,, I bought that vcr back in 1991,,,, I was in Grade 12 !!!!!! I paid 650 Canadian !!!!!! I also bought the 21 inch sony TV that same day.
wow !!!!!!! The coolest VCR every !!!!!!!
That's a nice machine, and looks to be absolutely mint condition. Looks like the previous owner really took good care of it. I still have three VCRs, two S-VHS and one later Sony standard VHS although they rarely get used today, but I do drag them out every few months to clean them, ensure they still work and for occasional archiving. I also have several 4 hour tapes I recorded music onto back in the late 80s and early 90s as they made an excellent alternative to reel to reel and sound superb even today.
God those tapes are so thinner then the paper of cigerettes

Add to playlist "VHS, S-VHS, D-VHS Memory Rescue"
Wow man what a score.
Music?
Amazing video! Thanks a lot!
Nowadays I'm repairing SLV-757 & 656 for my collection.
Ooooh the SLV-757 has the best look in my opinion. I wish I had kept mine.
I have 656 in full operate condition, works and look g.r.e.a.t.
I have my 757 in storage, mine has a bad power supply. That I will have to fix...
I remember those big Sony ones. My grandparents had one from the 80s.
Pure beauty.........
Does this machine have a way to turn off auto leveling for audio recording?
I miss the smell of electronics of the 1990s, it had a distinct "new car smell"
In the brochure when you're showing the Beta comparison page, the " SUPER MECHANISM " I can attest to. I have an SL-HF350 with the pre-SUPER version and it's driven completely differently; with a series of cogs driving a toothed belt that lets you know it's loading/unloading and threading the tape with a whining sound. I also have an SL-HF360 which has the newer, silent SUPER MECHANISM. It's driven by a motor attached directly to a worm gear that drives the loading/unloading tray separately from the threading mechanism, which is also a newer spiffy design. I love your presentations; so well lit; focussed and executed! I had a SLV-585HF with the pinch roller design that lifted up and out of the way when unloading and loading. It had to be kept lubricated or it would get stuck. I didn't like SONY's VHS m/c's.
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
I also have one of the newer Sony Betamax VCRs (SL-HF860D) with the quieter loading mech. Unfortunately the worm gear attached to the motor is cracked and slips, so I need to source another one.
Hi ya, i have one of these but can only get sound coming out with a blue screen. Can anybody help me? Thanks
Yes finally a VHS VCR!!!!!!!!! I am so pissed that you always find beta vcrs for cheap since I took years for me to find a broken Beta VCR that needed to be fixed and for you beta vcrs grows like apples on a apple tree while here in Sweden you can expect to pay a fortune for a beta VCR even if it is a broken beta vcr.
Great video, actually watching it recorded on STD D-VHS on my JVC HM-DR10000. It's quite good, pretty much DVD quality as far as I can tell but it's slow to load previews while FF or REWding and slow to load the image and sound after being paused.
Good video like!
Those are the good old days
Beta @ LaserDiscs are my favorite formats
Mines too
Laser Disc is awesome but hard to handle,exposing to damage.
I love sony
Hi i just bought this exact machine yesterday at goodwill the blue gear is broke on the bottom can u give me some advice
You can still find replacement "blue" gears on ebay or even some supply websites. However you will want to remove all the dried grease in the mechanism surrounding the gear and replace with fresh grease, to prevent it from breaking again.
12voltvids has done a good video about that gear, but I can't remember which one it was exactly.
Yikes that thing is loud when it fast forwards and rewinds? Why?
All these Sony vcr motors make “buzz” noises during function tasks. Owned many Sony models, even totl SVHS units all did the same. A small annoyance, but Sony Japan made units are solid
Whats price sony vcy
What type of grease did you use?
Just generic Super Lube multi-purpose synthetic grease. I'm sure there's better grease to use, but it's what I have kicking around.
Beautiful machine.
Sony's LD players were kinda crap, don't think I've seen that many models of LD players from Sony being highly praised, Pioneer are the good ones for the most part.
I have this one, but it doesn't work good.
ugh I just saw an identical unit with original packaging and manual everything looking in mint condition, except it would only fast forward. Could’ve got it for less than $20. Came back the next day and it was gone.
👍
i had one that my Grandmom gave me but it had problems playing LP/EP tapes it would speed up and slow down. it played SP tapes fine though. sold it on ebay a few yrs ago but maybe i should have kept it.
Can i get the buying link of this product
Not for sale
I had two of these units both of them had problems when playing SLP tape it would speed up then play normally. i think it was the capstan motor. but other then that they were very nice units.
It could also be a bad/dirty/incorrectly aligned tracking head
Kya mujhe mil sakta hai ek new VCR
I use VCR .
Trust me - ALL the caps in the HIFI board WILL fail, will leak and will damage the board. Trust me - the PSU WILL fail. It´s a Sony :) I´ve been through a lot of these machines. Do a full recap as soon as possible .

Der Sony hatte auch Bild in Bild.
I think these Sony VHS VCRs we made by Hitachi.
I think there was an article saying that the first Sony VHS VCRs would be made by Hitachi, but I'm not sure if that panned out, or if so how long it lasted. The design of these is very distinct from Hitachi VCRs of the time - it's definitely Sony's design. They also already had the manufacturing capability, given their Betamax line, so I suspect the Hitachi thing was either a temporary plan to get VCRs out the door, or it was an initial plan that never happened.
Either way, really interesting stuff, I would love to find some more definitive information.
Not,Hitachi was closer to Panasonic,Sony has got its style in an unmistakable way.

semmit nem tudtunk meg ebből a videóból..........
U for sall me
Too bad Sony abandoned their superior beta system for VHS.
Too bad they only had marginally-better video quality and it wasn't great enough to make the short tape-times worthwhile.
@@jamescarter3196 Most people did not care about picture quality back then, just “ how long can I record for?” was more important.
Your unit is not mint, it is a used unit that you can get at goodwill for $25.00
True, not mint I guess - but extremely well cared for. I've never seen anything close to this condition for anywhere near $25 at a thrift store here - it's always beat up, grimy low end stuff.
'Mint' means 'seems brand-new, factory-fresh, hasn't been used, works perfectly' and not just 'unblemished exterior'. It's a little alarming how many people are saying 'I got a thing that's in mint condition but it doesn't work'. That's not 'mint'.
