Hi All

Just thought i would update you all on some recent progress,

Many thanks to David Boynes (Fernseh)Who kindly gave me five VCR machines, i have checked them over today and found the following,

Sony Pro machine VP9000P U matic ...... Just needed a clean up and is now working great.
Ferguson 3V30 x3 and an Oceanic 4913 (French 3V30 that looks similar to our ITT 3913)
They all just needed a good service and one needed a cassette lamp, i have also swapped the cabinet over on the 4913 as it was a secam machine, so i now have 2 x 3V30 and one PAL 4913 - a real different looking machine !
All working now.......... Thanks so much David!
All the best,
Chris.
