"In fact, we have just introduced two new Super Beta models. For a company that's getting out of the Beta business, it sure is doing it in a weird way," Kawakami said.
Last year, video recorder sales were estimated at $14 million. Only about 10 percent of those were Beta models, he said.
"There is still a core universe of Beta faithfuls in existence," Kawakami said. "The Beta business has evolved into a small stable business for Sony. They are still confident in their format and believe it to be of superior quality."
Allen Robertson, owner of Servi-Tronics TV-Video, 711 W. 23rd St., also said there was still a market in Lawrence for Beta recorders.
He said that if the Beta system were phased out, it wouldn't be because of Sony's decision to produce VHS recorders. Instead, it would be because of a lack of Beta tapes available.

Items from bars will be priced by the ounce.
The Hawk's Nest will include cafeteria items, but will also include a bakery, delicatessen grill and ice cream store.
"Prices will be the same as they have been," Long said. "We're going to try to hold prices down as much as we can."
Booths and tables and chairs will seat from 900 to 1,000 people, Long said. Seating will be 50 percent smoking and 50 percent non-smoking.
In addition, eight rooms will be available for groups to reserve.
Long said the project had successfully integrated the new facilities with the older style of the building by using solid wood accents, brick columns and arched supports.
students are interested."
"We want to preserve the style of the building by using renovations to help accent it." he said.
The stairwells are protected by fire doors that automatically close when the fire alarm goes off.
The entire area is equipped with a sprinkler system as a fire precaution.
Long said that 75 percent of kitchen facilities were new and that the other 25 percent would be reused equipment.
When the food service areas are finished, B.A. Green Construction Company Inc. of Lawrence will begin working on Level 2, which will contain both the textbook store and the Oread Book Shop on one level.
The textbook section is scheduled to be ready by August 1988.
After the Oread Book Shop is moved, that area on Level 4 will be made into student activities and organization offices and facilities.
