Perhaps I misunderstood your original post.
If you already have a unit that can do all the above why do you still
need a TBC in a deck?

The TBC's in both of my decks have NONE of the corrections that a
normal, stand alone TBC has.

Check eBay and search for Laird VC2000 video corrector. It is
essentially a poor man's TBC and will do all the functions of your
Sima and more. I just bought one from a Company in Sikesville MO and
they still have some of them. Price will be slightly less than $100.00
and definitely worth that price.
