    • +3

      Some people still have home videos on vcr. It's easy enough to convert them but old people be sentimental.

      • What’s the easy way to convert them?

        Take to some shop and they convert it onto dvd?
        Sorry I’m being old, convert it and put to a usb I meant 😬

      Big no, no. I used to repair VCRs in an electronics shop after I left high school and we used IPA soaked card (like from a birthday card or manilla folder) and hold it against the drum. Removed the dirt without damaging the heads.

      Q-tips are fine for rollers, etc.

        What did you use for the head? I never had any adverse effects, although I had crappy tapes that were recorded over many times. I used tdk sa90 and ar90 when i could afford them. So nice opening the cellophane on a 5 pak of ar90's 😅

      • +2

        We used betting tickets … which were essentially the same kind of card back in the day (oh geez back in the day already!)

    Will wait for the LaserDisc cleaner

    My head is reeling from this deal.

    • Reeling reel to reel.

    • It wants the cleaning tape so bad.

    this, plus the earlier deal on cassettes… 90s are back baby.

    • Haha 👏

    I've been using the ol' Paper and Isopropyl trick. Cheap as, works well and you can actually see how much crap comes off the vcr heads!

    Never ask for this in an adult shop. You’ll end up with something completely different.

      • +2

        When you want to really loosen up the VHS unit 😆

    • +2

      The only VHS cleaner I ever need. I keep my hole VHS collection high, up and deep inside my box in the closet. Its hard to think of a reason not come around to deal like this, Dick Smith would approve 5/5….heavy loads of it!

  • +1

    Does any manufacturer produce brand new VHS player or recorder in 2024?

  • every 20-30 hours of operating time?! as if! more like, whenever the heck I remembered to do it.

  • +1

    (profanity)' hell, and I felt nostalgic seeing a (blu-ray) disc burner earlier.

  • +5

    Back in the day these never worked and I don't think much has changed. Much better to pop the top off the VCR and clean the head manually.

  • This is like an April Fool's day deal, I love it! lol

  • This will look great hooked up to my 77C1 Oled

    • Funny enough…I just fired up my old Sega Megadrive for my daughter. Still works perfectly.

      It looked terrible…she loved it..

  • Thanka OP. Ruined my Sanyo VCR with the American Pie uncut tape in 2001. This should fix it right up.

    • you can finally re-unite those intimate moments with Shannon Elizabeth again

    Is Jeff Bezos selling the stuff from his garage? xD

  • Thank goodness for this post. My VHS dubbing machine is in need of a clean. Bought 5! Thanks OP!

    4k upscaling should fix the lower resolution 😜

    Any good deals on an automatic tape rewinder?

    • The ones shaped like a race car?

    • Be kind, rewind.

    Blast from the past.

    Father’s Day gift sorted.

    Just a few months ago, my old man was asking me where to find a VHS cleaning tape or tape head spray. He still has his Sony VHS player from 1985 in working condition and owns over 500 VHS tapes. A few times a year, we get together during long weekends to binge-watch movies on his vintage Sony Projection TV and VCR. Well good old days they made things to last.

    • Very cheap and flimsy

      Didn't work well in our video player, not sure if it was our player that was a problem but the cleaner tape was very flimsey.

    • 1985

      👍

  • Guys, I'm after a DV player. Where can get one for a reasonable price? TIA

  • Little bit of hawk tuah does the trick

  • I use a clean crisp piece of paper between head and tape and works fine.

  • Amaylzing deal

  • I'd be willing to take it off your hands, for free
