For sale: TBC-1000, TBC-3000, green AVT-8710, more
Updated March 2024
Available: NTSC+PAL - rare DataVideo TBC-100, PCI card, new, $2850 - Cypress AR, refurb'd, aka metal green AVT-8710 clone, $2250 - Cypress 1T, aka late green AVT-8710 clone, B+ graded unit, see note ** below, $1550 - DataVideo DVK TBC(ish), refurb'd, modded/preset for capture, $750 PAL only - Cypress CDM 1500, new, essentially green AVT-8710 clone without proc amp, $2250 - Cypress AED 660, refurb'd, essentially green AVT-8710 clone without proc amp, $750 ________________ Notes: - All of my TBCs are refurb'd, pass clean signals, and often appear new/unused. - I also have some full workflows available (TBC + S-VHS VCR + USB capture card). - Price varies on model, and price range for most quality s-video units is $1150 to $2850. - Yes, the specific Cypress and BV units that I make available here are as good as a DataVideo! I've been asked this in PM many times now. Noting that there are many not-good Cypress/BV out there in the wild. ** VCR and camcorder menus, and blue screens, are non-standard signals, not true NTSC or PAL. This sometimes creates problems for TBCs and capture cards. These specific units will work well for you if either (1) you disable the JVC blue screens, and never enter the JVC menu while capturing, or (2) you use Panasonic S-VHS VCRs, such as the AG-1980P (or AG-1970, or PAL equivalents like NV-HS1000 and FS200). Be aware that not all JVC decks can have the blue screen disabled, so verify in the JVC menus before inquiring. Unknown if these will work with any other VCRs/cameras. Cypress units degraded with the next iteration of units, aka the "black" era (black AVT-8710, and clones), and those not only hated the menus and blue screens, but added excessive ghosting and frame sticking issues. **[/s] For some strange reason, starting in 2022 (and then stopping again in mid 2023), I'd gotten requests for "pictures", as if that tells you anything about these units. While the cosmetics on all my items is excellent, often like-new, it's the performance that matters. No mere photo can show that. You can already use Google to find photos of what many TBC units look like, if you're curious. But also noting many non-identical TBCs (both bad and good) look identical, so it's misleading altogether. In the few instances where images are not readily available, all a photo would tell you is "Wow, a boring box!" It's a waste of my time to take photos, and a waste of yours to view them. So I don't do "pictures". I'm not some Facebook/etc random person. ________________ Sold: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - N/A for devices available now. |
PM sent for one of your Cypress AVT-8710.
|
Gosh.. that workflow looks nice.. just can't swing it right now though.
Great prices! |
All TBC-3000s now gone.
8710s and 1000s almost gone. If you're still waffling on whether you should get one, better make up your mind quick, :wink2: |
More gone. :cool:
|
Is the AVT-8710 still available?
|
I've released a few more of my Cypress units. :eek:
|
Hi lordsmurf,
Which Cypress units do you have left? Thanks, Michael |

Could you give me a price on the DataVideo TBC-1000 including shipping to the UK?
I really appreciate your work here, I've just started out and this site has been a fantastic resource! :) Thanks, Richard. |
I have another pair available. :woot:
Sidegraded my personal DataVideo TBC gear, selling off these excellent extra units. - - Already had nibbles for both units, didn't think I'd need to even post them in the Marketplace, but no closed deals yet. So still up for grabs. First to PM me wins! :P |

I bought a Panasonic 1980 fro Deter and I still need an external TBC for my conversion work. Do you have something that will work? Thanks!

How much are you asking for the AVT 8710?
|
Im looking for a TBC, how much for the AVT-8710?
|
Any other TBCs for sale? Seems to be the last piece of kit I need (wish I embarked on converting my tapes long ago when this stuff was more readily available).

The ES15+DVK TBC(ish) setup I have left is probably the best you'll come across. And it'll be both lower cost, and immediately available. For many scenarios, it's 99% as effective as full TBC. It's something we'd discuss in a PM. You'll need to tell me about your project, your sources, and I'll tell you if it will fit your needs. In some cases, namely anti-tearing, you'd have wanted an ES15 anyway, paired with a TBC. (As a word of warning, the DVKs I've seen from eBay are pretty fubar. Even the ES15 are not all that great. As with VCRs, "tested" and "works" means nothing. I've gotten PMs by burners buyers. The 2nd-biggest problem is that both units are usually incomplete, and tracking down the pieces can be a slow nuisance. And then when you do complete both, with working "accessories" (ie required parts), the issues aren't done yet. With the ES15, you have both the 000000 and caps-related issues to watch for. But the 1st-biggest problem is that DVKs were studio gear, and often abused. I've been able to resuscitate some units for those burned buyers, but some not. And then, after all that is done, and the gear actually works correctly, you still must modify the unit to work well in a capture scenario. Sometimes trying to DIY from scrapped eBay gear isn't wise, especially if you're not well versed in it.) |
Does the IDen IVT-7 have the Sony 7 PIN Y/C 688 Dub input and is it also PAL compatible?

I'm not sure about PAL. |
Any suggestions on what to use?? Seems the Datavideo and AVT options are out. I have a Panasonic ES15 but my video captures with it occasionally skips frames. I even tried capturing sans a capture device and just record a VHS to the DVD recorder and burn a disc with that. The test DVD still had a few skipped frames in spots. Should I try a different DVD recorder?? A different model?? The ES10 or another ES15?? I recently even tried the Hotronic AR31 to no avail. Didnt get a video signal. Are there any other TBC units suggested?? Are there any available?? For the record I need something with Composite video.
|
PM me. I have a composite Cypress TBC available. :)
|
Looks like I'm in the "need it" category for a TBC with S-Video. The struggle is real. :)

Have been putting off building a capture rig for over 15 years, with the theory that A>D hardware will mature a bit more, while ignoring the crates of VHS and miniDV footage in my climate controlled basement, Finally revisiting this, and it looks hardware peaked around 2005. Looking to build a rig from the ground up the right way, using reconditioned parts from a trusted vendor until I'm comfortable doing surgery and cleaning gear. |

Anyone have a TBC-1000 available??
|
Quote:
That said, while the TBC-1000 is excellent, it's not the only TBC, nor even the end-all/be-all of TBCs. |
Well to be fair you said in a post above that you’ve added several TBC’s without actually specifying which ones they were. This was partly why I was asking since technically it wasn’t made fully clear you didn’t have it available. Second I never said that particular model was the best of the best. I was just seeking if you or anyone else in this thread had one available.

Lordsmurf have you ever heard of or used this type of TBC Leitch DPS-235 - Time Base Corrector & Proc Amp [TGP-5021]
newbee looking to do my own tapes. Thanks! |

This is a marketplace listing (for sale) thread, not a general discussion thread. Post further tech/advice questions about TBCs here: http://www.digitalFAQ.com/forum/video-restore |
Success! I've repaired a few units, those are now available. :)

Do you know if I.DEN IVT-7 can transcode U-mactic Y/C 688 to S-VHS Y/C 358? Do you have a scan of the manual?
