Here is a rare machine! This is Sony's first color deck and predates EIAJ
1 standard format by several years. Apparently only introduced in Europe,
but not in the US. The American model would have been the CV-5600,
essentially identical to this CV-5100.

This beauty
is brought to us by Bruno Merlier, my clone from France! He schlepped all
the way to Belgium, on the train, in the snow, uphill, both ways, to bring
this machine home in southern France. Bruno then cleaned and restored
the deck to operation, then shipped it to California. Thanks, Bruno! That's
what I call netorking! |
Tech details coming soon. Just discovered I don't have that information
at hand. Check back soon.

Be sure
to visit Bruno's site, Passions
Incongrues. This machine is covered in great detail there.
.
Wanted: Service
manuals and or Operator's manuals for this machine? |
