I can't say that the list would be 100% accurate/inclusive, but the only reporting marks containing -SEX I could find online are: A: ASEX Armour Stock Express (Armour Car Lines) 7/1932-7/1935 unlikely

Looking for help to view Beta tape
Those should fit commercial betacam decks. Check with your local TV news department. They may possibly have an old unit or two if they haven't gone or have very recently gone to digital recording. Tim
