I need to purchase another 3/4" machine and am looking for a reliable sources. I want a used Sony VO-9850, VO-9800 or BVU-950 that is bench tested and warranted. I would love to use a DVi vendor, but B&H does not sell them.

Anyone know if there are any good surplus broadcast supply houses that still have U-matics.

Thanks. It is my understanding that BCS went through a bankruptcy and re-opened. Has anyone used them recently. Opinions?
