Sanyo L-250 (circa 1981)

Not much is documented about the Sanyo L-250. The period record shows it was a blank Beta videocassette, not an audio component - a 60-minute tape that Sanyo listed at $14.95. High Fidelity (1981, p.267) carried it in a blank-tape directory next to the L-500 (120 minutes, $19.95) and the L-750 (180 minutes). That makes the L-250 the shortest of the three Sanyo Beta lengths recorded there.

Past that listing, almost nothing survives. Coating formulation, tape thickness, shell construction and production years are unrecorded. If you have an L-250, or original packaging or literature, the Archive would welcome the contribution.

• Format: Beta videocassette
• Length: 60 minutes
• List price (1981): $14.95
• Series siblings: L-500 (120 min), L-750 (180 min)
