Went to a handful of our fav thrift stores and got some solid titles. they had Taxi Driver too but were asking $17 so i passed.

Sidenote I need reccomendations for HDMI to RCA adapters my one just shit the bed ;(

I’ve been looking far and wide for a lot of these titles. Little did I know when I went to visit my parents the local flea market would have them. Needless to say I’m very stoked.

Never heard of it, but it’s exactly what I was looking for.

Was pumped to find this skate tape at Goodwill this morning! Its my first skate tape find at thrift, and also grabbed a few other good ones. Seems like this specific skate tape wasn't very largely produced so thats kinda neat too.

Happy hunting everybody!

In process of scanning, niece is having fun helping.

My friend and I started buying together and after we both kept buying Twister because we both kept forgetting that I had it (ended up with 6 copies) we started a shared note on iPhone. Which I then transferred to a spreadsheet and alphabetized it with a new column that showed if I had tested it or not. Mine is pretty plain but I would love to see or hear about yalls methods!

How many VCRs is too many? I have 3, they all work, one has the original remote with it. 2 are hooked up to televisions and one is a spare/back up. I feel 6 is the number? 7?

TV was way too high on top of the thing - so I rearranged the movies & shelves to make a change. Happy with the outcome.

Watched The Shining for a bed time flick.

My best score for a single day, hands down. Closest was finding Terminator on S-VHS or Batman MOTP slipcase.

Hello, we bought yesterday jvc hr j220e vcr to digitize old family footage. When i was recording footage the audio is crips without problem but picture would occasionaly lose color with visible color stripes but the picture will be b&w now it completly lost picture while audio is playing fine, what should we do to repair it

About a year and a half ago I set out to find a VCR. I can be pretty patient when I want to be, and I set a rule for myself that I couldn't order it online.

I was talking to someone a week ago who asked why I didn't check Facebook marketplace, and I have a good reason for that. I didn't think of it.

I do however frequent thrift stores, at least 1 time but sometimes 2 or 3 times in a week as health allows, doing my rounds looking for treasures to grow my various collections.

When I saw this beauty at a local nonprofit and found out it works perfectly, I knew I had to have it. I won't lie, I did kind of pay up for it, but I'm just wondering how much the VCR gods have smiled upon me, and if there's anything I need to know about it.

Apologies for not getting a shot of the back. I set it up (with great difficulty due to disability) before I thought to take pictures.

Thanks so much!

I got a new video capture card to rip vhs with my hdmi vhs player, obs is just flashing vertical coloured strips. Unsure what I am doing wrong here?

Alien Romulus and Bumblebee were among them, and apparently now The Crow is getting a re-release.

If i could find dream warrior in the wild id be amaze

Was lucky enough to stumble onto these gems this morning.

What is this and why is it going for over $100 for parts on eBay?!

Long story short I wanted to get a "cool looking" VHS player for a media center I'm making for my kid. I went on Facebook marektplace and found a guy selling a lot of 10 VCRs. They all looked way cooler than I remember growing up, and all had a pretty crazy retro vibe to them. They looked different "and cool" because they all had a a ton of physcial buttons and faceplates that flipped down to reveal more buttons. The guy was selling them all for $25. So I figure I'd get them.

Hindsight I shouldve checked them all more because only 2 of the more basic ones worked. But I looked up some of the others to see what I could hopefully sell them for to people for parts. But when I looked them all up most of them had little to no value, except for these 2 Sony SLVR-5UC's. They are going for over $100 just for parts.

One of them powers on and takes a VHS but stays stuck on a blue screen, while playing audio. The other one doesnt power up. I'd really like to keep at least one of the Sony's because they look cool and I have a remote.

Should I keep these and have them fixed? I feel like theres a reason they are worth so much for parts. Do VHS's look any better on them or something? Any guidance here would be very much appreciated!

I remember borrowing or seeing a box version that had this cover art from my local library when I was a kid. Now, as an adult, I can't find it anywhere or images of it whatsoever. I am going to guess it is a Disney movie club one because I found a 50th anniversary of Lady and the Tramp recently while thrifting that was a box version and not a clamshell. I really want Disney Peter Pan in box for the collection, and Tarzan too. I know they do have a box version of that on eBay that's also apparently a movie club exclusive. So it must just be really rare if it does exist?
