SV-3700 hour count?

(1/2) > >>

greenone:
Found a good price on an SV-3700 but I may need to help the seller figure out how to do an hour count on the machine. Can't seem to find a manual or any info anywhere on the net. Any kind owners willing to help me out, and take the strain off my poor D8 once and for all? ;D

here is info about how to access the test modes from the 3800.  it will also work with the 3700.  if it is in the $300 range and has low hours....BUY IT!!!!!!

Thanks! +T I'm waiting to hear back from the seller...she said it had "less than %10 hours on it". Of course, I'm wondering if that's less than 10 or less than 510 and her finger slipped. ARGH! If it'd been !10 or @10 I'd jump on it...but %10 is starting to get up there. ;)

FWIW....500 hours still is pretty low for the Panasonic decks.  with regular manual head cleanings you should be able to get 4k-5k hours.

think INDUSTRY STANDARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   ;D

Good point. And thanks for the approximate $ figure...it had a 'buy it now' of half that and is shipping tomorrow. Woohoo!
