JVC/Ferguson VHS mechanisms: list of types versus model numbers - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

dazzlevision · 4th Apr 2014, 8:00 am

Hello,

Yesterday, I originally posed this question in another thread (https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...=103479&page=2) but now think it ought to be in its own.

I have several JVC machines in the HR-D120 to HR-D720 model number range and wondered if anyone has (or knows where to find it on the web) a table or list showing which models were fitted with which JVC mechanism? I'm trying to slim down the number of VCRs I have and this would be very helpful.

Regards,

I think we also need a picture ID thread, like the BSR Garrard ones in the audio section. (pics of the guts might also be useful, if accessible)
What do you think?

Hello Ben,

Well, in principle, yes. However, that would entail quite a lot of work and, as [I] only have some of the range produced, others would have to assist and there would need to be some common format for the pictures, both external and internal, if thought desirable.

I'm sure I have seen lists of model JVC/Ferguson number versus mechanism type in some printed catalogues; wish I could recall where!

Regards,

I believe the newer, faster mech began with the series where the HRD170/3V65 was the basic model. This carried on with minor revisions until the early 90s.

Hello Ben,

That's a very good start. I'll see if I can find the basic JVC mechanism types for the Fergy/JVC VCRs from when Ferguson moved from 3Vxx to FVxx model number designations.

I know that by circa 1993, they were using the Thomson R2000 mech, then the R3000 came a few years after. In between, I'm not sure: the FV31R was I think Toshiba.
