BETAMAX SONY SL-C9UB  are truly one of the best VCR machines made. 

They are indeed very rare and are classics today among collectors of Beta VCR'S.

I specialize in keeping these Beta models going and can provide both repairs and spare parts for the C9.

Betamax Video Tapes are also available in all sizes and most brands to include High Quality and Pro-X types.  They are used but in excellent condition.

If you need any spare parts for this model please e-mail me at the address below stating what is needed.

I realize the prices are on the high side, but they do reflect the rarity of the parts. Some parts are very few in numbers and are extremely difficult to find. 

The carriage assembly, is very rare to find so is the DC to DC Converter. Likewise the Pre-Amp and RF units are also few in numbers.

A used but as close to mint condition as is possible to find today, is available but the price is high to reflect the difficulty in finding such a model, in excellent working condition.

For an idea of the value of such a  vcr machine you can consult

After a lot of years sterling service my Sony C,9 gave up the "Ghost" in a big way. The PSU, including the DC/DC Converter was u/s. "Sony don't make that part any longer ".I was told by my Sony Parts Center.  Eventually I gave up looking for that elusive part. "Was I the only Beta user around here?". I thought. It seemed like it  The trusty old C.9 was put on the bottom shelf, where it gathered dust, for many a year. That is until recently I ,quite by chance came across the "Beta Palsite" in a magazine Reading through the emails I came across the "Advert " for Lucreziagalaxy With high hopes of seeing my C.9 back in action again I contacted this." Help Line". telling my tale of woe. Having been convinced by a quick reply to my request, that a repair was definitely on the cards, I sent my C.9 away, insured against damage as advised, for a report on its condition. Within a couple of days of its arrival, I received a detailed report of the faults found, the parts required, and the estimate for the lot. It did not appear cheap at first.
,but considering the availability of the parts for a C.9, the equipment and expertise required to fit and test them, it seemed to me pretty reasonable. So I went ahead with the repairs. I was kept informed all the way through the "restoration", until ,the day arrived, when I was informed that after a long Test program my C.9 was ready for home. My first impressions of the restoration? Its works like a dream. The picture on Pause and X 2 are marvelous. Why buy a DVD for picture quality, when with Beta Sony C.9 and a" Diggie". Box you can get a Better deal. It is a machine in its own class, I have insured it separately under my House Contents Insurance, after receiving a report of its market value. Thank you Lucreziagalaxy for a 1st Class Job.& Many Thanks for all Your Help and Sound Advice . The cost was worth every penny.  If any one out there has problems with their C.9,do what I d ,consult the"  Experts." They are only an email away. John.

Hello to all who read this.
Yes I had a Sony SLC9 that was not feeling so well. A severe case of DC converter sickness. I took it to numerous so called medics but nobody could make it well and it got put into the attic to ferment. Then one day I was on the net and came across WWW.Betapals and found Lucreciagalaxy and in no time what so ever we were in touch and a cure was on the dispensing table. My unit was parcel posted (well insured as instructed) forthwith and once again I received rapid response. The C9 problems had been diagnosed and surgery to put right had been identified. All I had to do was submit the necessary from my "drink token" account and the C9 went under the knife. The treatment was not cheap but when born neither was the C9.
 So far the unit (patient) is responding to all commands and if all goes well has undergone a full reincarnation.
No I am not in the medical profession, actually I am a mechanical biased person. But to finish I must say well done lucrezia as all the  credit goes to her.
 
All the best and keep operating
Stan

This is one very happy customer from Australia.

My Sony SL-C9 Betamax machine failed due to the fracture of the two small plastic gears located either side of the loading mechanism.  The effect was cassette-jamming and the machine could no longer be used.

A search on the Net soon revealed that Sony put out a modification kit for this problem about 15 years ago, consisting of a replacement set of metal gears together with the interconnecting rod.  However, all references on the Net stated “No longer available” and I thought my Betamax was doomed.  Then I located <LUCREZIAGALAXY@AOL.COM> who claimed that ALL Betamax C9 parts were available from them – even a complete machine if necessary.

I ordered the metal gear replacement kit which was in my hands five days later!  Now that’s service!

Unfortunately the gears when examined were damaged.  But, following an email to Lucrezia, another set was sent free of charge.  Again, five days later, the replacement modification kit arrived and the machine was working on the same day.

I wish to record my complete satisfaction in dealing with Lucrezia.  The prompt and courteous service, together with invaluable instructions, was most appreciated.
