STUDIO CITY ENGINEERING
A pro will update components and repair common failures for Panasonic DVCPRO and Sony Digital Betacam Recorders, Players, Cameras and Editors.
The Panasonic DVCPRO and Sony Digital Betacam lines are very good professional video units that experience failure due to the loss of electrolyte in their surface mount electrolytic capacitors (they dry up).

SAVE MONEY AND PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT!!
If your DVCPRO® shows any of the symptoms above, give us a call, send us your boards and in a few days your machine will be as good as new. With a capacitor rebuild from SCE, you can restore the performance of your DVCPRO® to like new for a small fraction of its replacement cost.

YOU MAY NEED A CAPACITOR REBUILD
Panasonic DVCPRO® and Sony BETACAM® are excellent professional video equipment whose performance can diminish over time because their capacitors dry up.
If your DVCPRO® has intermittent errors, bad audio or video and requires a warm up period, its surface mount capacitors may have dried up and need to be replaced.
PANASONIC DVCPRO®, SONY DIGITAL BETACAM®, BETACAM®, DVCAM® AND JVC PRODUCTS
If your Industrial, Professional or Broadcast Recorder, Player, Camera or Editor is becoming unreliable and was made before 2002, you probably have bad surface mount capacitors on the circuit boards. |
YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF
The boards are easy to remove and there is no need to send the entire machine unless you want additional service or repairs. We are located in Los Angeles and shipping is available from any location by the carrier of you choice. All repairs come with a limited 90 day warranty. Most service is completed within 72 hours. Although the replacement of capacitors will solve most problems, we recommend that you also check your video and audio levels as these can drift over time.
COMPLETE SERVICE
Although our main business is capacitor rebuilds, we also offer complete maintenance or repair of Panasonic DVCPRO® equipment. In addition we offer component level parts replacement of your pre-diagnosed audio or video equipment, for example replacement of tiny chip capacitors and resistors, transistors, capacitors of all kinds and IC's up to 250 pins. Call us for a quote. It's like having your own personal soldering technician.
This Auction is For:
A basic capacitor rebuild of Panasonic DVCPRO AJ-D440, AJ-D450, AJ-D640, AJ-D650, AJ-D750, AJ-D850, AJ-D940, AJ-D950 and AJ-D960 Recorders.

Ask us for quotes on other models such as AJ-D230 and AJ-D250 units, cameras or laptops.
Every board is carefully inspected upon arrival. If additional problems or work is found with the board, we will contact you with a re-estimate and you will have the option to approve or decline before committing to any additional costs. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us at the "Ask the Seller A Question Link" and Robert will personally answer any and all emails.
First we remove all surface mount electrolytic capacitors from all video boards using the most modern de-soldering techniques & equipment. Then we rigorously clean & inspect all circuit pads for damage from possible previous work, re-flow the solder on clean pads and add improved 2000 hour factory replacement parts. Then the work is cleaned again and thoroughly inspected for accuracy. We use only high quality silver solder and guarantee the work for 90 days. In the 7 years I have been doing these boards for the Panasonic Factory, not one has been returned for a capacitor failure again. Machines with low hours can be like new again. Machines with rebuilt boards are now worth keeping and can have heads replaced with the certainty that it will be worth the investment. Please call or email if you have any questions! (818) 567-0707.
