Embarrassing question

    Sorry for wrecking heads, but I have a Sony hi-band u-matic BVU 800P deck.:eek: Its a great work horse and served me well for many years. I took it out of its flight case today (bless it) and was just wondering if any of you know if there's anywhere on the planet that can supply tapes for it?

    I used to get them in Eurotek as late as 2001, but I'd be too embarrassed to phone them now.

    Well apparently Sony are still churning out this tape. I found a U.S. site selling it. However anything more localized would be appreciated. These machines even have a fan club. Its a mad world.:D

    I had to dump two of these machines last year.

    Broke my heart... but I just hadn't got the space for them and I couldn't find a proper home for them.
