one station we work with, would rather have 3/4" than betacam, since all
their betacam decks have gone bye bye and to fix them is over $500 while
they can pick up a 3/4" for about 100 bux.
HEY ANYONE NEED 3/4" TAPE? I HAVE ABOUT 40 REGULAR TAPES AND 30 OR SO SP
TAPES. LET ME KNOW (EMAIL ME) AND I'LL GIVE YA A GOOD BUY. I ALSO HAVE
SOME BETCAM TAPES AND EVEN A BETAMAX PLAYER AND SOME TAPES (EVEN PRERECORDED
MOVIES :o)
