So I wondered if you could please write a letter as the Editor of the International Beta Informer for the post office to read as to the fact that what I have is an extremely valuable collectible Camcorder. Thank you very much. I've had it since new. The problems usually dissipate to a degree after the unit has been powered up for an hour or more, but without warning can all hit at once, and subsequently has chewed some tapes. Display panel lights dim and brighten, while the machine loses sync in recording and playback.
Remote sensor becomes inoperative.
Unit can still be operated by keys on machine. Keys on machine become inoperative. Finally, the machine will stop working altogether. Our east coast beta guru could not find the problem after having it reside on his bench for some time, and has seen what it does. If anyone wishes to take a crack at it, I'm all ears.
