Sony SL-HF300 Betamax VTR Video Tape Recorder Player Betahi-fi (1984)
The first USA NTSC machine to have the HF prefix, the SL-HF300 was one of Sony's best-selling Betahi-fi VTRs when it first hit the market in 1984. It has fantastic Betahi-fI audio fidelity and better picture than a VCR. It features a 7-day, 6-event timer so you can pre-record shows and "Quick Timer" recording in 30 minutes segments up to five hours. Plus, BetaScan high-speed viewing in forward and reverse during playback and BetaSkipscan high-speed viewing during fast forward and rewind mean you can watch your tapes the way you want. Built like a tank, the SL-HF300 is a heavy, solid, and durable machine that proves why vintage is best.
