Description: This is a JVC HR-S9500U Super VHS S-VHS VCR with a built-in time base corrector (TBC). This is in very clean condition and recently refurbished, inluding a complete rebuild of the tape mechanism. It was extensively tested and is fully working. Why buy from me? Expertly Refurbished: Unlike many eBay sellers who simply flip VCRs, I have a ton of experience in refurbishing and repairing every VCR/VTR that I sell. Each VCR undergoes a meticulous process, including bench testing, repairs, and a rigorous checklist to ensure it's fully operational and reliable.100% Positive Feedback: My 100% positive feedback rating on eBay is a testament to my commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. I've been on eBay for over 24 years, building a reputation for excellence.Comprehensive Service: These VCRs are 25+ years old and require special care. Even if a unit works at the moment when sold as working, it's likely to fail soon without proper refurbishment. I ensure that both mechanical and electronic components are in top condition, so you can enjoy your purchase without worries.Unparalleled Customer Support: Beyond the quality of my products, I provide personalized support at every step. Your investment secures you not only a top-tier product but also peace of mind, knowing you're backed by a trusted vintage electronics expert.Dedication to Quality: My passion for vintage video equipment drives me to offer only the best. Each unit I sell is a product of careful craftsmanship and attention to detail, ensuring you receive a reliable, high-quality VCR.More about this VCR: **Dynamic Drum Feature Disabled** - The "Dynamic Drum" function, originally designed for producing smooth slow-motion effects such as replaying sports recordings, has been disabled due to its problematic nature over time. Originally, JVC's design had fragile gears that are now unavailable. I've created a method that largely bypasses the original gearing system but maintains functionality using custom-designed, high-quality 3D-printed gears that have undergone extensive testing. This feature has been disabled in my units since most customers use them for digital archiving, which does not require the Dynamic Drum. Disabling this feature has no impact on the video or audio quality for digital archiving. Summary:The JVC HR-S9500U is one of JVC’s leading S-VHS VCRs. It uses the Digi Pure picture enhancement system for the best possible picture. It uses a 3-Dimensional Digital Circuit with a 4MB Digital Frame Memory as a foundation for a variety of picture enhancement technologies. Does not include a digital output, you’ll need a separate digitizer device for digital archiving. Video Cassette Tape Formats: VHS and S-VHS/Super VHS What I like about:Good option for digital archiving - tremendous value for the quality of video it deliversVery well built (this came near the end of JVC’s high build quality VCRs)Built in TBC (must have for digital archiving) Input/Outputs:Input: S-Video, Composite Video, Audio (RCA stereo)Output: S-Video, Composite Video, Audio (RCA stereo) What do I mean by “Fully Rebuilt? This item has been completely disassembled and rebuilt from the ground up. Every aspect, from mechanical components to electronics, has been meticulously examined and refurbished or replaced as necessary. It essentially represents a restoration to factory or near-factory condition. While it may exhibit minor signs of prior use, it is designed to perform exceptionally and reliably, often surpassing its original capabilities. This effort includes rebuilding the tape mechanism, replacing belts, replacing or fixing mechanical parts as needed, and repairing failed or near failing electronics (capacitors, ICPs, diodes, mosfets, etc.). Includes the original remote and manual, and will be super well packed for safe shipping. Beyond the quality of my product, my commitment to providing unparalleled customer service remains unwavering. I've been on eBay for over 24 years, joining as a young whippersnapper when I was a senior in high school - attempting to build a computer for my budding interest in computer graphics : ). I’m now specializing in vintage, video and graphics electronics and take great pride in supporting these unique and rare devices. Nearly always without manufacturer support due to their discontinued status, these treasures deserve special care. My perfect 100% positive review rating, and over two successful decades on eBay, attest to my dedication to offering a premium buying experience. Rest assured, your investment secures you not only a top-tier product but also personalized support at every juncture. Buy confidently, knowing you're partnering with a trusted vintage electronics expert.
