I know this thread appears to be old from back in June 2011, but just recently found it. I too aquired the Fast Video Machine and its add on boxes. Really enjoyed using it with the way I could not only have hard disk recording, but also along with that vdieo I could also have live camera and external tape decks attached and control all by one system. Even to this day, I still have my system up and operational, though not being used as much, but there when I need it for SD video. I have, like most of you added on additional equipment and software so that I can do HD recording and editing. Even at that time, I was using addtional software and hardware editing packages that would allow real time rendering as the older stuff, of having to wait hours for just 5 minutes of video to be render, was just too much down time. I would like to know if anyone know the where one could aquire the keyboard that was used for the Fast video machine, as mine has a couple keys that have broken caps. I know at one time, someone use to sell these as they can be fixed. Guess it does seem strange to still have one of these still in operation, but more than once, I have been glad to still have some of my older equipment operational for times when needed. If someone knows of where I can get a replacement keyboard or parts for the keyboard to the fast video machine, then email me at: jerrytn@att.net.

Would be very much appreciated. Sometimes it nice to see the old stuff still operational and the tubes glowing in the dark.
