READ - No remote or manual. Tested partially. Powers on. I don't have the connector to a TV or betamax cassettes to see if they play. The cassette tray opens well. All of the ones on the top interface, the power, the cassette tray.

Over 90 Sony Betamax tapes. All the tapes are visually free of mould. Given their age, picture quality will vary from take to tape.

It plays old recordings perfectly considering the age of the recordings and tapes. It will very quickly lace up the tape to produce a stable playback picture, will fast-forward, rewind, etc., with no problems or snags.

Sony Betamax C5 I am not very familiar with these machines and I couldn’t get an image to come up on a screen. I will describe what happens as a clever person may find this an easy fix? Powers on, selects between channels with the lights to BBC1 etc. Loads tape and takes the tape in, press play, it starts playing the tape (as in you can see the tape spinning round). Couple of seconds later it just stops. It then ejects fine. As any questions but note the low price due to unable to figure out what’s going on.

This model hails from a era where quality and reliability were at the forefront of Sony’s engineering. Although untested for playback functionality, it's a classic piece of electronics that retains the charm of retrovideology.
