This is a listing for a Sony Digital Betacam DVW-250, which has some issues. It has been stored in a warehouse and has some minor dirt, etc. There are no severe stains or dents. The power turns on and the various lamps light up. The tape mechanism operates, but recording and playback are not possible. Other buttons function normally. Audio and video signals input from the input terminals are output to the output side as audio and video (color bars), so I believe the internal circuits are normal. Vector and waveform displays show normal values. It may be due to head contamination, but I'm not sure. When it was working properly, the image quality was very good, although the aspect ratio was 4:3. As explained above, this item is being sold with issues. Would this be suitable for someone who repairs these, uses them for parts, or as an object? The product is old and may have deteriorated over time, so no warranty is provided. Please purchase only if you understand and agree with the above explanation. If you have any questions, please ask before purchasing.
