Aangeboden: een goed onderhouden sony video cassette recorder slv-se 730. Deze vhs-speler/recorder wordt compleet geleverd met de originele afstandsbediening, een scart kabel voor directe aansluiting
Are you looking for a working PAL VHS deck with useful extras rather than a modern-format player? At €40, this is a strong deal: it sits below the €56 25th-percentile mark for comparable listings and well under the €103 median. Even allowing for unknown condition, the price leaves room for a little maintenance without becoming expensive.
The SLV-SE730 is a capable stereo Sony recorder, with solid tape-handling features, PAL playback/recording, multiple connection options and convenient search, still-frame and slow-motion functions. Accessories add genuine value, particularly the remote and correct cables. Before buying, confirm that it powers up, loads and ejects tapes smoothly, produces a stable picture and sound, and includes the remote; at this price, a tested example would be an easy recommendation.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sony emerged from the ruins of post-World War II Japan, founded on May 7, 1946, by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita as Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K. in Tokyo's Nihonbashi district. Starting with radio repairs and Japan's first magnetic tape recorder, the duo secured transistor licensing from Bell Labs, pioneering the TR-55 transistor radio in 1955. Renamed Sony Corporation in 1958—from the Latin "sonus" for sound—the brand symbolized Japan's ascent from cheap imitations to innovative leadership, fueled by Ibuka's engineering prowess and Morita's global marketing vision.
Sony's hi-fi legacy spans headphones, amplifiers, speakers, turntables, and DACs, alongside landmark formats like the Compact Disc in 1982 and Blu-ray. Iconic products include the Walkman for portable audio revolution and Trinitron televisions, blending consumer accessibility with cutting-edge tech. Today, offerings like the Signature Series headphones and ES amplifiers target discerning listeners seeking refined soundstaging and dynamic range.
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end powerhouse, Sony commands respect among knowledgeable buyers for blending mass-market reliability with premium performance, outpacing many pure audiophile brands in innovation and value. Far from vintage relic or niche boutique, it dominates with forward-thinking engineering, holding strong market share in headphones and streaming ecosystems.
