Good old Sony Betamax...

[Bob Mohler]

Customer brought in Sony Betamax, Model: SL-300. Cassette transfer
basket has the guide pins broken and other missing or broken parts.
Does anyone have a loading basket they would sacrifice to an old hand
who works on these outmoded oldies? If necessary, would consider
buying whole unit if price were reasonable. Customer has dozens of
old John Wayne movies and wanted to help him out. "Good ole John, the
old patriotic one", deserves to be heard...any leads would help me out
more than you know. Thanks for your time.

Check eBay. Old Beta machines come up from time to time and usually
sell for small change.
