Hi everyone.

For many years I've had a strange gadget called a Sony Betastack sat unused in my store. The theory behind this very complicated and clumsy looking unit is that you put the unit on top of a Sony C7 Betamax video recorder and the unit would feed a new tape (up to 3?) as the tape in the machine ran out. It would eject the tape in the machine, push the tape out from the back and it would then fall into a little pile on a tray in front of the gadget before loading the next tape up.

Now, today has been the first time I've had this very strange gadget in the same location as a Sony C7 VCR and I thought I'd give it a try. Unfortunately, I can't work out how it attaches to the top of the VCR; I have a feeling there might be a piece missing. Does anyone have one of these units that could shed any light on how it attaches to the VCR and what you're supposed to do to make it work? (Although I guess it may be self explanatory once it's connected up correctly.)

Thanks everyone.

Kind regards.

From Mike.
