I saw one for sale at a local garage sale. The price was low, like 20 bucks. I don't know if it works for not.
If you'd like I'll swing by and see if they still have it.

Let me make sure I can find it, but I have one of the cool last gen Sonys where the front display slides open to load the tape.

I am not interested in selling, but there seems to be some Beta experts here. I got two free GCS-50. There are no manuals nor accessories with them. At this point all I have checked is that they both play. I haven't done any research on them yet. Anyone have any idea at where they stand in the model range?

AR Yes, you are right . The GCS-50's do not have a tuner and the main case and front panel are beige. I don't have a picture handy. The machines are here at home and my camera is at work. I will bring the camera home tomorrow evening and post a picture. On the back of the machines there is a small connector that is labeled "Control Lf". It looks like a PS/2 or S-Video connector. Might that be where an editing controller would attach? That might be a good reason that two of the machines were together.

Fuji I will send you a PM.

ac/dc, I have a Sony SL-HF 450 that, once VHS wiped out Beta, I used as a clock for many many years. Still works as far as I know, but I lack a beta tape to confirm that and I have no idea where the remote is...let me know if you're interested. It will otherwise go on eBay "when I get a round tuit".

Looks like mine is gone. It sat so long in the "junk" closet that my wife donated it!

A pair of GCS-50's saved from going into the trash.

I think I'm getting........excited. Those are a couple of very sexey deck's. I love the prosumer quality there.

I like this piece too

Hey that was my first Beta. I think I have all the Buffy season 1 episodes recorded with it. They were bad for eating tapes though. I remember replacing belt's and clening the rubber wheel's inside mine twice.
