Sony AG-300 5-Tape Betamax Loader Cassette Auto Changer
The Sony AG-300 is a professional Betamax cassette auto-changer designed to automate continuous playback or recording for extended use. The AG-300 pairs with compatible Sony Betamax VCRs (such as the SL-5200, SL-8200, or similar) to provide extended, unattended recording and playback capabilities. This unit is ideal for collectors, museums, or enthusiasts of vintage Sony broadcast equipment and represents an important milestone in the evolution of automated video systems. Built with Sony’s trademark precision engineering, this unit can hold and cycle through up to five Betamax cassettes, automatically loading and ejecting each tape for uninterrupted operation — a feature rarely seen outside broadcast and archival environments.
