Hello all.

I have several video cartridges from around 1969-70 and need a machine from which to play/recover to the contents.
Who knows what might be on them, perhaps a lost BBC television episode?

I am looking for either a National NV-5110, NV-5125, or a NV-5130. Complete machine, working or not, or parts. The cartridges are quite unusual, and I do not know if there are any other makers or machines that used them.

I do not wish to take the tapes to a professional tape transfer company.

Any help will be much appriciated.

Regards

Wayne.

If you can find an NV3160 colour reel to reel you can open the cassettes and put the reel straight on the machine, it is compatible.

There are also older EIAJ B&W machines that would also play the tapes, but not in colour of course.
