I owned a Panasonic AG-7750 and two AG-1970s at one time. I had upgraded to the AG-1970 from two AG-1960s. 7750 and 1970 are WAY in different leagues. 7750 is a broadcast quality machine,...

I'm the original owner of my AG-1970 and SR V101US, and was hoping to get YOU to refurb. Will you possibly make an exception?? ...

DAMN, I sure hated seeing those feathered edges. I always sought to avoid dropping or otherwise physically stressing (twisting?) the deck to avoid messing with the mechanical alignment. When I had...

Traal, THANKS!

I'm not sure if you were justifying it or condemning it. That's okay, I've learned what I need to know. I went back to my last 3TB drive purchase (8/2021). Rough calc shows 288GB...
