Let it be a CAVEAT.A little background - In the early days, DoctorSony always been called Doc, Surgeon / A-Tech by people who witnessed his specialized knowledge / understanding, highly efficient diagnostic techniques, expertise and precise skill sets from Sony, Tandy, Circuit City and enumerable smaller repair shops outsourcing tough work to him before he finally establish his own practice and cater directly to end users locally & now practically globally while limiting his services to mostly Sony devices ergo DoctorSony. If you own any of these SONY devices and requires repair or restoration, visit our doctorsony dot com company website and inquire. Feel free to check our fully restored sony devices available in-stock as well. ***To explain the concept of "Full Restoration" does NOT mean making the device to "New Condition" because this is simply impossible to achieve due to the following factors of:ISSUES YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OF ABOUT Media Tapes (before you purchase): Media Tape issues are more prevalent now a days than not. We are well aware being in the service business for over 35 years and these get worse thru the years, so part of our service process is to maintain good sets of quality controlled media tapes in testing phase to ensure every device is perfect before it gets shipped out. The following are the top most significant factors affecting Media Tapes deterioration (all formats Beta, VHS, 8mm, MiniDV, microMV): 1) Age of Media Tapes – magnetic particles erosion starting from ribbon edges are the first to go (much like the end to end tip of a shoe lace). Linear audio & tracking issues from weaken to complete loss (mute video or blue screen) of signals residing on the tape edges for Beta/VHS) 2) Wear and stretching of tape ribbons – every playback wears and stretches the media tapes as it passes to the video heads with some degree of friction (tapes should pass these devices in silky smooth fashion to keep friction at the minimum which is not the case from no-maintained devices) which gets worse until the device reel tension is adjusted thru proper maintenance (to add - not all servicer do this unfortunately from lack of proper tool). 3) Recording devices - as they age also develops issues in electronics and wearing mechanism which translates into overall poor recordings. To be specific - from mechanical wear which skewed the overall angle of recording stripes along the tape ribbon. It is common that the recordings made will playback with no to little issue with the same recording device since recording stripes matches but most likely way off already from industry standard tolerance. To see the proof for yourself – try to playback a known good pre-recorded movie tape (best would be a movie tape that is sealed in a box and has never been played before on any machine to insure no wear, stretching or playback damage induced). 4) Contaminations - resulting into snowy to no video & mech jam (Dust, loose particles from erosion, grease, soda splash & worse mold). We professionally clean every devices internally. However, nothing can stop it from contamination when a bad tape is loaded and made contact to the device’s internals. Contamination is instantaneous. Wet alcohol-base cleaning tape may help all depends on severity (soda/sugar base & grease are bad news)
It’s our common practice to restore the device to its near - like new condition performance wise the best we can but unfortunately, the typical media issues - we can only explain for your awareness but beyond our capability to solve as professional servicer. They are not an integral part of any device we restore, therefore – they are what they are. | ||||||||||
