I am in need of a late 1960's/early 1970's Sony CV model series reel to reel VTR(video tape recorder). This was manf'd. by Sony before the industry EIAJ standard.

Hi Alan,
I posted my e-mail address under "Zenith H500, blown filaments", but we no longer want to post it - look there if you want it.
I have a couple of different 1970 or earlier Sony 1" VTRs in storage, far from where I live. I can't see a model number in the picture I have of my best one. What did you need one for? Would it be kept for posterity? Is it just to recover a program from an old tape? I spent some time (and money on a new DC servo capstan motor) in the mid-1980's repairing my best one, and I know it works, and I even recorded an early Twilight Zone on it. I probably only have 1 or 2 reels of tape for it. If you continue to need one, e-mail me, and maybe I will retrieve it (or both) some day - but it will be months before I get out there again. I do need to reduce my collection of old video stuff, like a bunch of 1" IVC VTR's, one with fancy slow motion - I hope I can find someone interested in preseving all those! I now specialize in antique radios!

PS- I think I also bought the manual for it, AFTER I traced out the capstan servo loop and fixed it, from the same source I bought the motor from. I can't quite remember if the model started with "CV", but it rings a bell.
