This one's a little bit different insofar as we're looking at a Sony SLC7 Betamax. This model was produced in 1980 and has the older style Betamax logo on the cassette door. This one is new old stock having never been used at all that I can see. Not sure why this was the case was it faulty from new? Was it just never sold and left in a corner somewhere? Whatever it's story, it's been really well stored just look at those belts!

Part 2 to follow very soon.
