This one's a little bit different insofar as we're looking at two Sanyo VTCM40 BetaHiFi machines from 1984. This Betamax format model is still called a Betacord although the only mention of this is on the rear label. In my humble opinion it's the best looking Sanyo Beta sold in the UK but it's just such a shame the front flap is so flimsy!

Great to get both of these machines functioning but both do have other issues and they'll each appear again on the channel in the near future so keep an eye out for those.
