Vintage 80's JVC VP-100 / VP-100B "Digital Audio Processor"

This was a clever unit back in the day, before DAT was fully mainstream and affordable. It allowed you to encode your analog audio into a digital video signal streamed to a standard VCR or BetaMax deck, and play back to decoder that signal into analog again. Very popular at the time for mixdown, archival, etc (again, DAT was not an option for most people).

Used by countless smaller studio users and hi-fi home users alike. (I couldn't tell you how many archival backups I did!).

* All the features and specs you could want are available online!

-- Notes: Yes it still works! Just tested with a friend's vcr. * However, the display brightness occasionally dims out, then back in after a while, no rhyme or reason. From what I have researched, it would be caused by typical aging power supply capacitors (like any and all equipment from that era).

-- So, I'm selling it very cheap as-is (no returns), since it's presumed you will service that (cheap parts, and again, routine for most gear this age).

These are Very Rare and can sell for a LOT to vintage audio enthusiasts! I'm pricing it low for someone to dive into it and give it a good new home!
