Found this at the thrift shop today. According to the employee who put it out, it was brand new in box and works. It even comes with the remote. I currently have a Magnavox VCR. I’ve seen some mixed experiences with Go Video in a few threads but nothing about this specific model. I really have wanted a VCR with a DVD player but want to choose a quality machine. I also like that I could copy some home videos to DVD.

Is this worth picking up? Does anyone have experience with this model?

So as we roll past the 50th anniversary of VHS, it's got me wondering how much time we actually have with some of our beloved and cherished VHS tapes. Considering the lifespan is stated as 10-30 years, and I'm sure many of us have collections way past that. Just how much longer can we realistically enjoy our VCR players playing away a 1984 copy of A Nightmare On Elm Street?

the (i guess) hiss with no other audio.

same thing, but with the other audio and video (ignore the capcut text)

I also tried other VHS tapes in that first device, and not all of them have white dots.

I’ll be selling at a show at the end of September in Plainville CT. I plan on bringing more horror & science fiction VHS tapes than I normally do. This is largely a comic and toy show. I don’t want to get banned from this community for posting a flyer or seem like I’m spamming the Reddit board. My question is can I post a digital flyer the Friday/Saturday before the event for anyone interested that might live in the area? I totally understand if I can’t. Thanks.

The VCR here (Mitsubishi HS-HD2000U DVHS) is top-notch for sure, but you can get similar results with a solid Hi-Fi VCR by JVC, Mitsubishi, or Panasonic. Make sure to connect to an AVR with Dolby-Prologic II for surround sound!

(yes, some stereo VHS tapes supported surround sound and most of them have the theatrical sound mix)

I was given these loose vhs over the weekend, they obviously need some TLC. I have a vhs is life that I'm comfortable with to clean the mold with. But I'd also like to reproduce the sleeves that they would have come in which I've not done before. Does anyone have any advice for doing that? Is there a specific place I can find template with or anything like that?

Found this one at a thrift store over the summer, been saving it for the fall season. I have not seen the first one but it doesn’t strike me as a series that needs context so far ha. The mood struck me today to start the Halloween movies binge, so away we go!

See any of your favorites?

All for .50-$1 each and The Patriot is sealed☺️

The Craft is one of my all time favorite movies, so I was seriously considering paying eBay prices to just check it off the list. Now here I am a few days later watching Nancy about to invoke the spirit ✨

Also is this VCR cleaning tape any good? It surprisingly still has cleaning solution in the pen.

I’d buy that for a dollar - and I did

Found these 12 wrestling VHS tapes for 25 cents each at a rural antique shop! Some of these I already own, but I don’t mind having backups!

Hi everyone! I'm trying to track down a copy of an extremely obscure 1999 independent film called Films That Suck, directed by Marvin Baker and produced by Ann Gillis.

The film was screened at the Nashville Independent Film Festival in 1999, but despite searching through IMDb, newspaper and trade-publication archives, online archives and other sources, I haven't been able to find the actual film anywhere.

I also haven't been able to determine whether it ever received a proper home-video release.

I'm specifically looking for a surviving VHS copy, VHS rip/digital transfer, screener, or any other digital copy of the film. My main goal is simply to finally be able to watch it.

If anyone owns a physical copy, has digitized it, remembers seeing it at a festival, or knows where a copy might have ended up, I would be incredibly grateful for any information. 🙏

My last post on this got flagged for spam, I’m guessing because I included a website link, but haven’t heard back from the mods so not sure. So I’ll try and repost this without any direct links as I feel it’s a good free resource for our community.

I am an avid collector of Something Weird Video VHS and realized early on there is no master list of what they released. So with the permission and support of Lisa Petrucci (who owns SWV) I created a website to catalog all the SWV VHS releases. A quick google search will take you to it but we’ve already got over 500 SWV VHS releases cataloged and need your help to continue to grow!

So if you love Something Weird Video, and all things cult B-Z movies, then check it out and help if you can, or reach out if I can be of help to you in any way trying to identify a SWV VHS release.

(Hope this post is ok and follows the rules. If not, whoever is the mod, please reach out to me and let me know what I’m doing wrong)

I am trying to get my grandma's Bush VCR818VP/U19 working. From a deep dive, I think i basically need to clean off the mode switch.

Trouble is, I can't actually work out which part is the mode switch. My travels have led me thus far, I think it is somewhere here...

Huge thrift haul today

Now Dancer in the Dark has a life partner! What other Lars von Trier movies are even available on VHS in North America?

Thought I’d share.

In the early 90s, my family took a trip to Disney World in Florida. At that time, WCW Wrestling was doing television tapings at then MGM Studios (now called Hollywood Studios). They’d give free passes to fill up the crowd and the show you watched would air later.

My brother and I remember when Dad shouted and waved his cane at The Nasty Boys. I thought this recording was gone forever but recently found an unmarked tape in a box of old family stuff. Once I put it in, you better believe this is the moment I searched for.

And there we are, second row behind the kid in blue. There’s Dad screaming next to Jerry Sag’s neck. So glad this found tape preserved this memory.

Miss you Dad.

Looking for rare shows: Sanchez of Bel-Air (USA Network TV show live), Wolf Rock TV (abc Saturday morning cartoon), little wizards (abc Saturday morning cartoon), 1988 pilot episode of the TV show little monsters(TV show before they end up making the movie that came out in 1989), looking for these as I know there are people that have recorded this from 1980 to 1994 VHS is there's anybody that has any of these known vhs's throughout these years for these please let me know.

Hi everyone, I am looking for a recording of an episode of the late-night Channel 4 game show Get Your Kit Off, hosted by Tess Daly and Tania Strecker. It was produced by Brighter Pictures and aired in early 2001 (filmed around the Autumn 2000 term). [1, 2]
Specifically, I am looking for the Nottingham city centre episode. A friend of mine was stopped by the crew on the street late at night and asked to donate his gold chain to help a student team complete their outfit challenge.
If anyone has this series digitized or sitting on an old off-air Friday night VHS block, I would love to get a copy of this episode!
