I have been searching the world for a Sony Beta Hi-fi unit and can't find one
demonstrated ANYWHERE.  I finally called SONY direct and asked for the name
of a distributer.  The distributer couldn't tell me the names of any retail
outlet in the Colorado Ft Collins area though.  My chief concern is that I
don't want to spend ~$1K on a unit without knowing how well it performs.  I have
seen previous references by Chuck Forsberg in notes about behavior specific
to Beta Hi-fi; specifically what is likely to be strange about it?  I would
also like to use it as a VCR; any comments on its use in either of these areas
or how I could actually find one?
