This is a great setup for home DIY conversion use, for the non-hobbyists and non-pros among us. I want everybody to have a quality conversion experience.
PM me if interested. 
These workflows will only be available in limited quantities, as their creation is actually more time-consuming than my premium workflows. The gear requires (1) function modification, and (2) unit dismantle for custom firmware. It's a process. And I do it for you, so you can still have good gear, at a relative bargain price.

Workflows are fully tested as a set, and are not random items tossed together, as that often leads to workflow conflicts. These will be thoroughly tested, refurb'd/serviced where needed, then re-tested. Remember, my tests are not silly "it played a tape" or "it powers on" type nonsense you find on eBay/etc. I look for flaws with color, timing, the transport, alignment, audio, etc. This is equipment that I would use, and so it must meet my stringent expectations. Most of it is even in cosmetically excellent or flawless condition.
For hobbyists and pro, my
premium workflows are still best for their needs.
