Got An Old Betamax VCR? The Danbury Museum Wants To Talk To You About It

Do you by any chance still own a Sony Betamax? If you do, get in touch with the Danbury Museum & Historical Society. If you’ve been hoarding a Sony Betamax for decades, your moment has finally arrived. The Danbury Museum & Historical Society has unearthed classic Betamax tapes capturing the Great Danbury Fair. But there’s just one hitch—they can’t find a player! Betamax was once the choice of some people who believed that while the tapes were shorter, the quality was better than VHS. But Sony eventually lost that war to VHS, which became the dominant format. If you have a Betamax player stashed away and it still work, get in touch with the museum or email p.wells@danbury-ct.gov
