Cool.  I'll have to check out that URL (Note, I pasted the correct URL
from your follow up message).

I currently have one Beta-HiFi, three regular Beta machines and a
BetaMovie video camera.  I'm still miffed that I missed out on getting
a second BetaMovie that had auto-focus a while back.  The store that
had it went out of business and I don't know what happened to all
their stock.  :-/

Two of my regular Betas aren't working quite right and my Beta-HiFi is
beginning to show its age of about 13 years.  The HiFi works fine but
the VU-Meter for the left and right channels on the front of the unit
are starting to die.  Each channel has a bank of three LEDs that no
longer work.  Mind you, I have yet to open up the unit and take a look
inside to see if I can fix it.

I must have close to 200 Beta tapes here.  I'd like to find more
originals but I'm quite happy using it for taping from cable TV and
for my own home videos.
