Is there an alternative to the JVC HR-Sxxx vcr that are so highly sought after? I just lost another auction on ebay and I'm frustrated.
They are hardly ever listed and when there is one, it seems the whole world is bidding on it.
I've heard good things about the Pansonic-1970 and 1980 models.
Does anyboy here work with these?

Panasonic AG-1970 and 1980 lack some of the filters. They are respectable machines, people like them, but you'd probably benefit more from the JVC as a collect.
All good models (NTSC):
JVC HR-S7600U, JVC HR-S7800U, JVC HR-S7900U
JVC HR-S9600U, JVC HR-S9800U, JVC HR-S9900U, JVC HR-S9911U
JVC SR-V10U, JVC SR-V101US
Mitsubishi is another one. Those are harder to find, and not really any better than the JVC units.
You can grab a brand new JVC SR-101US for $270 at B&H. See http://tinyurl.com/dhodo

Thanks, I have that one on my watchlist but watch someone snipe it... AGAIN.
I think I'll just buy the SR-101US new.... There are no deals on ebay for the other models. Too many buyers.

Try for one of these. It's the 9800 as a GoVideo clone.

got a question. with a tbc will that make it so i wont need a video stabilizer anymore to get rid of the copywrite? also does it make a difference if i run from a jvc that u recomended into a tbc 1000 then into my jvc dvd recorder. then to just go jvc vcr into the dvd recorder. is it better to have both the svhs and tbc then just the vcr by it self?

The machines are all more or less than same. 7600,7800,7900,9600,9800,9900. Either 7800 or 9800 will be awesome.
You'll have to continue the stabilizer. Embedded TBCs don't remove protection like standalone ones. If you do JVC S-VHS > DataVideo TBC > JVC DVD recorder, then you won't need the stabilizer at that point. The TBC by itself provides continuous signal stability. The one in the VCR is for image quality, not the signal stability. Use the full TBC in between.
I use a Panasonic AG-1980P on a lot of crappy SLP tapes, but the image equality off the JVC is best if you can get the tapes to play perfectly. And they usually do, just not always, and those "not always" tapes tend to be crappy SLP recordings.

The problem with the Panasonic is many of them have been so extremely used in a studio that the heads are awful. Be careful on the cheap auctions.

Yeah, the 7800 + TBC-1000 sounds fine.
If your stabilizer works fine, keep using that. I personally use the AVT-8710 now, not the TBC-1000.
The VCR is priority.

I have the JVC 9800, and I've been very pleasantly surprised how well it plays back recordings I made back in the late '70s and early '80s. Even SLP tapes.

I'll post on here, but I may be posting my JVC HRS9800 on ebay here soon. It is very lightly used. I bought it Brand new back in 2002 if I remember the right year LOL. I think I still even have the box it came it. I'd be suprised if I used it 50 times total. I loved it, and it worked great for some of my older tapes, but I haven't used it in at least a year now. I'm still debating on whether or not I want to part wit it.
