This Massive Sony VCR Plays Rare Tapes?! Sony Pro U-Matic Mega VCR Movie Preview Tapes

In prehistoric days, studios used gigantic VCR's to create video programs using gigantic tapes. In this video, we look at the 3/4" U-Matic system which began in the late 1960's. It survived as a television studio format up until at least 2009 and might still be surviving today! The databits channel is pleased to provide you with the best in new tech, vintage and oddity gadgets, media formats, repair projects, electronic experiments and restorations of thrift store finds. There are also many "how to" and instructional titles. The goal is to search through garage sales, antique malls and resale shops for gadgets you didn't know existed, electronic toys you had as a kid, stereo or turntables your parents used or a film projector your school used to teach you valuable lessons. Typically we produce one video a week with several trips to a thrift store per month. Sometimes, through research, an item is searched for on ebay and purchased for review. A list of some of the most popular items watched here on the channel are: record cutting on various materials, DLP television repairs, VCR's, Camcorders, turntables, record players, records, car reviews and dictation equipment.
