    those days they don’t repair mechanical tape units – standard replacement is the norm.

    Well, if it’s for church, you can use the camera firewire-linked to a computer with adobe onlocation for capture – and no need to repair the tape unit. The optical+ encoding units send video to FW all the time even when the camera is not recording.

    Hey. Same problem here. Tape stuck in pal gy-dv500 for years now, repair too expensive. Using it only for studio work connected directly to computer with FinalCut for recording – got to try Adobe OnLocation which seem to be great for the same purpose.

    To restore field operation – you should look into a FireStore FS-4, they seem to be available at around $800 at amazon, less on ebay.

    Let me know if you find a solution.

    – by the way, hard to find a use for a gy-dv500 those days, with all this HD gear around. What do you use yours for?
