Sony's 80s and 90s equipment are engineering masterpieces, and the GV-500 is no exception. With a look like a retro cyberdeck, this is a portable 8mm video tape player and recorder from the early 1990s. It features a built-in TV tuner (for analog signals only), a tilting backlit LCD screen, and even the ability to record if you have a compatible camera.

Uniquely, even the front pulls down, and you see the eject button, controls for the menu, and timer options. But that's not all! You also get buttons behind the screen to turn the LCD on and off, change the input, and adjust tape functions. The right side also has a set of RCA jacks that can work as either an input or output. Whether you're a lover of all things vintage, a collector of unique items, or simply want a system to watch 8mm video tapes, the GV-500 is the perfect choice!

Please not that you would need a compatible AC Power Adaptor (like AC-V30) or a DC Adaptor (like DCP-77) in order to charge the battery. We do not have the correct power adaptor to test this unit, so it is being sold untested, as-is.

If you want to get a closer look at the functionality of the Sony GV-500 (and see an attempted repair of one), you can check out this video from This Does Not Compute here.

My Sony 400 disc player stopped working. I watched YouTube videos and came across this website. Since 90% of failures are the belts I decided to try to fix it myself with the help of the video. It was the belts and after installing them it works great again. I received the belts really quickly and with no prior knowledge took the case off with help from the video and installed the belts myself. So happy to have my player working again. I will always contact Spencertified for my parts and repair needs. Thanks so much. Try them, you won't be disappointed.

Spencer and Amy helped us find 40 or so speakers to build a wall out of them at a restaurant and were super helpful finding and loading up all of the speakers. The wall turned out great and would definitely recommend them for anything sound!

I JUST GOT WHAT I WANTED FROM FRIENDLY UNDERSTANDING SOUND PEOPLE!
Visit this shop for sweet deals on receivers, multi-disc CD players, turntables and all of your stereo and surround sound speakers and components.(they had many options, new stuff and older vintage too.)
REALLY! It was cool to do business with honest people who listened and gave me just what I was looking for. I asked a lot of questions about equipment and was shown different options, and, different prices, straight forward and honest.

Spencer was super helpful and knowledgeable when I visit him. I experienced a slight issue with some hardware and he was more than willing to make it right. As a nice gesture he gave me a slight upgrade to the equipment I was purchasing. He’s very reasonable and enjoyable to work with! Highly recommend!
