What is this item on Ebay?

[pfh]

As the originater of the post, I was just interested in what part this could play and thought restoration was the only likely one for a machine of this type, it has no "cable" tuner and is PAL in NTSC land.

Interestingly enough though after my post the price doubled, may be this forum should form some sort of(Probably ) unholy alliance with Ebay!!

I also notice that a 9600 and a 9800 jvc vcr's are for sale.

Thanks very much for your information though guys I thought it did have tbc/nr so my interest is cancelled.

I've watched those JVC's over the past 4 months- they've been selling around the $300 mark (or more, watched a bid war push one to $500!!) unless they are broke or no remote. I bought a factory refurb 9911 for $230 and said screw the inflated E-bay prices. This 9911 is brand new.

A year ago I saw what that baby can do in action...
In short terms: I want this deck!

The medical S-VHS VCR's are supposed to be very good (high end image quality for diagnosing). Most have built in full frame TBC/Frame Synchronizers that ensure image accuracy and allow for perfect freeze framing. They're expensive, and very well made. Sometimes one will go for cheap on eBay, but generally people know what they are and what they are worth. They are probably a great alternative to a full size broadcast machine due to their smaller size alone!
