As service technician of Sony NL i repaired the Betamax from SL-8000 to SL-HF950ES (all AEP/European models). Own the SL-HF100EC and the SL-HF150ES for about €100 / 150 each. My SL-HF-100EC had problems with the VU meters. Replaced it with a 5 mode VU meter (Amazon). No easy to change btw. Standard problems are, broken contact on videoboard for Video out BNC connection. Broken loading ring. Check pinchroller, pendulum, upperdrum, video/audio heads. FE head. Those HiFi machines came with a demo Betamax tape. Enjoy this one.
I can feel your excitement. This is a lovely machine! Now find yourself an SL-C9. Those are great when they work but they are not hi-fi, just linear stereo. But the mechanism is so fast and responsive and doesn't make those horrendous noises the later models do. I bought one recently and use it almost everyday.
Wow, your SL-HF100 still looks really great 😄. The SL-HF100 is a great recorder, I also have a few of them in my collection, including the silver one. Have fun with the recorder 😄

Alternatively, get an SL-F1. Basically same mechanism inside, but a lot slimmer and compact. It's a top loader, though.

This has to be PAL version of the Sony SLHF100. There was also an NTSC version of this same model as well.
There was never an ntsc version.....Unless you mean the 150
The NTSC version is the SL-HF300/500. It's not exactly the same but very similar.
The SL-HF100 was the first HiFi VCR ever in Europe.
@@KR1275 Right, and the VTC-M40, NV-850 and HR-D725 followed soon later the same year.
