So get another one. Cheaper than any alternative I've seen suggested.
Aren't the nicam ones digital audio?


I seem to recollect that 'hi-fi' video uses analogue FM. Corrections
and clarification from the real experts on this group awaited with
interest.

I am actively looking for a replacement for my duff Sony DAT recorder.
Its main use is for time-shifting Radio 3. For this purpose even
three-hour DAT tapes are a bit on the short side for, say, a Mozart
opera with an interval. (Just be thankful that I am not overly keen on
Wagner operas! :-) An uninterrupted recording time of at least four
hours with lossless or no compression is my target. (To my ears, the
32kHz/12-bit LP mode on a DAT sounds poor.)


IMHO for this application, there's nothing to beat DAT at this moment -
or at a sensible cost. Perhaps a secondhand machine might be an option?
