Hey There, Stuster! long time no see!!

thank you, i appreciate it...

Akiko Yano -Oesu Oesu (1984)

Same Here!! thanks Steve. i went ahead and used my PIONEER CT-S800 to put some choice Akiko Yano selections from CD onto mine, via my PIO ELITE PD-91 CDP. sounded fantastic, although there were a couple unfortunate bad spots in the tape...

disappointing, but good to know. it's not like i'd ever be able to afford one at the prices they now command, but it is nonetheless reassuring to know i CAN afford, with concentrated effort, a PIONEER TT model that looks almost as good, in it's own way, commands a fraction of the much-vaunted...

i'd LOVE to have one of those. i graduated around four-odd years ago to my first ever PIONEER TT, a 1975 entry level PL-112D. it still works great and sounds great, the best TT i've ever had to date. in a perfect world, i'd own an ELITE PL-90, but meanwhile back on planet earth, i'll have to...

well, i hope i'm as lucky, stuck here near a town notable only for the dwindling quality of it's once famous Watermelons...

it may be, but it IS the Video format most of us 1980's kids grew up around, and the more sentimental and nerdy of us out there tend to have a hard time letting go of the detritus of our youth, no matter how poor the quality or low the value. besides, with VHS videotapes like 5pc. $1.00 at...

O.K. my local ACE/TRUE VALUE just might carry it... i'll have to see about it next chance i get. i'll keep you posted...

i'll admit, the Mitsu HS-U80 that i positively adore the design of seems an inferior performer to my rather spectacular JVC HR-S8000U S-VHS, on certain levels. my copy of the U80, at least, was very well cared for, and little used by it's original owner, and it's mechanical performance has...

closest GUITAR CENTER i know of is in my hometown of PORTLAND 200mi. away. i once had a local RS, but they went under years ago. the only one i know of and have been to in TRI-CITIES doesn't have all that great a selection of anything...

i guess you must have the BV-2000 then? MITSUBISHI didn't make all that many industrial grade VHS VCR models IIRC, and the BV-1000 and -2000 are the only ones that come to mind, with the BV-2000 being their first, -and possibly only- true full-on industrial grade model; that said, if...

that would be dandy... but here in Timbuktu OR.?!? i seriously doubt anyone around locally carries it. maybe... MAYBE there's a place that stocks the stuff somewhere in nearby TRI-CITIES, WA. however, we rarely get opportunities to get over that way, and, when we do, very seldom do we ever...

OK i can try the cheap stuff first, and see where that gets me. after all, none of the controls were too badly gummed up at all, actually. i mean, the L and R ch. level controls were just a little gunky, so minor that i figured they were just tight in their actuation. flushing them with the...

yeah, i flushed everything with the alchohol... cleaned up the action of all the controls, but didn't help that bad channel. about $25/30 shipped for a bottle of DeOXIT; just gonna have to break down and put that on my short list...

yeah, i need to get myself a bottle. i've tried flushing the control pots with 91% alchohol, to little avail. DeOXIT seems the only coarse...

is this perchance anything like MITSUBISHI's first Prosumer S-VHS deck, the 1988 HS-U80/BV-1000?

all cleaned and polished up, but still with channel issues...

OK i tried actuating that REC. a whole bunch of times. R Ch. began to respond a TINY bit, but went dead again. i'm wondering, is this deck at all desired? i kind of wanted to try trading it off for a TDK MA-R 46 or 90, if at all possible. i really need one of those to complete my TDK...
