Interesting video. I was searching for someone to run secam on pal. We in Nordic countries use Pal. But for example Russia its Secam. We had one Russian tv channel on cable. Ofcourse it was converted to Pal. It did run fine on all tv except one I had. Thats little funny I got a strange blue red picture on that channel and only that channel.
@@crashbandicoot4everr Yep but do you get any picture? How did they do the move and why all countries did this? Estonia also moved from Secam to Pal in 90s. Did they do like with digital that you used an setupbox in old tv?
@@davidbjork5063 When you run Secam video on PAL TV set, you just get b/w picture (and the same if you run PAL video on Secam TV set). In 90s when many countries switched from Secam to PAL, there were no settopboxes. Many TV sets from 80s were multistandard, so it was no problem for them. If you had old only Secam TV set (in most cases soviet set) you had to add decoder directly into TV set.
@@xsc1000 Interesting in Sovjiet they also used some other standard in audio. I remember when I was searching channels in boat tv (Stocholm-Helsinki). I got some black and white grainy picture and the sound only shhhhh shhhhh shhhh. The channel was the same as in my cable Russian Horizont. I thought it was only bad reception. But probably it was because the tv was Finnish and Swedish standard....
@@davidbjork5063 Eastern block used CCIR D/K standard with 6,5 MHz FM sound carrier, western block used CCIR B/G with 5,5MHz and Britain CCIR I with 6,0MHz sound carrier. Here in Czech republic we had TV sets with both 5,5 and 6,5 MHz sound since end of 60s, but I know there were many TV sets supporting just one standard. As of colour. PAL or Secam are based on the same b/w standard, so they are b/w compatible... But Secam cannot be used for editing in TV studio, because of FM modulation of chroma carriers. So our TV studios worked in PAL since 70s and only at the end of the chain was transcoder PAL>Secam, because Secam was used for broadcast (because of soviet occupation). In 90s we just removed that transcoder...
This is what we call a masterpiece.
Wow, great👍, VCR.
I have one with the 30m original tape but unfortunately don't run anymore 😕😕
Ну кто так снимает про такой шедевр....
Thank you
Does this output true NTSC or is it PAL-60?
It's NTSC 4.43 which isn't compatible with the true NTSC, but it can play tapes from America.
I Laik your films
Could you film the inside of this VCR if you still have it?
No time to do it. You can search videos about the NV-300 or NV-330. It's the same mechanism but top loader.
Interesting video.

Greece was SECAM until 1992. Of course, A SECAM broadcast or video tape will look bad when played back on a TV or VCR that's not SECAM-capable.

Do you want to sell it ?
Is this VCR mono? I see the stereo cables
Yeah it's mono. I am just using a stereo to mono RCA adapter so I can feed both audio channels in dual mono.
Plz i have one 390 he not eject
There is a small square belt on the front loading mechanism that raises and lowers the cassette basket. Check that first.
Can this VCR play PAL/SECAM LP or NTSC EP tapes?
Sorry for replying VERY late. No, it only plays and records in the SP speed.
