Please note, this page is under construction until further notice. A few of the videos are over one gigabyte. So, it is recommended that you download the file in its entirety before playing it. My latest videos are in full 1080p high definition and will take serious time to download if you are not a using a fast internet connection. The good news is, you have never seen videos of this quality on YouTube! Of course, not all the videos here fit that definition. Please enjoy my home movies on this fascinating topic. ALL videos on these pages are copyright property of Labguy's World, or other respective copyright holders - used here with permission, and are subject to all normal fair use laws. If you desire more than that, contact me and let's talk.  (8 Minutes, 30 Seconds - 1.01GB) In this two part series (so far), Labguy undertakes the restoration of the extremely rare Akai VT-150 color portable VTR. Watch and learn how painful this hobby can be at times. One must have "the knack" to enjoy this type of masochism. Enjoy!  (8 Minutes, 30 Seconds - 1.01GB) The frustration continues as I ty to get the take up reel and capstan pinch roller pressures adjust just so. In fact, this was not acheived. The VTR is currently out for service. An update episode will be posted when it returns. Stay tuned. Enjoy! Created May 1, 2013 - Last updated: May 1, 2013 |
