aoe mean tip

Bell & Howell Super 8 movie camera signals a warning sound when camera is turned on. B&H Manual doesn't mention it.

Part 2 - My Betamovie BMC-110 is having trouble. When I load a videocassette, the videohead rotates and engages the tape, but it won't stay activated. It shortly thereafter disengages. But after a couple of minutes, if I push the record button enough, the tape will stay engaged and the heads will continue to rotate, but the tape is slack and does not advance. Any ideas what could be the problem? Douginfo1 at google mail.

Spelling-Goldberg's "Family" starring Kristy McNichol

Spelling-Goldberg's "Family" starring Kristy McNichol & Sada Thompson. Season 4, Episode #64 "Disco Queen." I love this show, but in my opinion, this is where "Family" jumps the shark. Some may argue that the show jumped the shark when Annie was introduced, and for those people I have edited most of her storyline out of this episode, but when the disco craze of the 70's enters the picture... it's down hill from there. Which is exactly why I am posting this video - it couldn't be more late 70's if it tried.

If I reload the tape and continue to push the record button, I can keep the video head spinning and the tape from disengaging, but the tape is slack and is not being advanced. Would appreciate any thoughts anyone has on how to fix this or what might be wrong with this camera.

Is there anything more exquisite than Ralph Kirkpatrick playing the harpsichord? Certainly my ears have never heard such a thing, if indeed it did exist. In the most humble of presentations of Mr. Kirkpatrick's artistry, here is Bach's Partita No.5. Glorious!

Watching this video disc is proof, unlike this rough home video, that old technology does not mean inferior technology. This video is of my RCA Selectavision CED player playing "Pavarotti in London", which has amazing sound - even on the mono-television in the video. Love CED discs!
