Surprisingly the First Practical professional videotape machines capable of replacing kinescopes were the Quadruplex[/URL] machines introduced by Ampex[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampex"] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2%22_Quadruplex_videotape) on April 14, 1956.

The world's first demonstration of a videotape recording in Los Angeles on November 11, 1951.

Ampex introduced a color videotape recorder in 1958 in a cross-licensing agreement with RCA, whose engineers had developed it from an Ampex black-and-white recorder.

Sony Launched Betamax Video in 1975

JVC Launched VHS Video in 1976.

So Although Video has been around for some time JVC did not Launch Video until 1976.

So a Complete JVC Video Pack from 50 years ago would be really something.

i do apologise, it was information i was given by an elderly man, so it would be from when they first came out then.
So can anyone give the information as to who to contact for a valuation? please:)

I do not think a Valuation is really necessary. I think you would have to pay someone to take it away. But that is just my personal opinion.

If this is from, say, late 1970's, then a Museum might be interested in it.

Please don't dump it, spend a little time searching similar on the internet to find out a value. Also, there are collectors of old equipment such as that that you mention, i.e. old Spectrum computers and Atari games machines fetch good money, so if the space it's taking up isn't needed then hold on to it.


Another way to find a possible price is go to your local library and check the reference section for a Miller's Price Guide Book, which deals with collectables. I'd hate to see you, (or the old man), lose out on a tidy wee sum of cash.

Personally what I would do would be to contact a GOOD Auction House. Nearest I waould say would be in Edinburgh.

I would suggest either Christie's or Bonhams. You could phone them to see if they would be interested or if they would value it for you. Here are their Phone Numbers.

Christie's 0131 225 4756

Bonhams 0131 225 2266

If they can not help you I am sure they will be able to give you a contact name and address to someone who could.
