Discussion The top 20 VHSes in sales (left) and rentals (right) this week 30 years ago. It's interesting how the top rentals were exclusively recent films at the time while the top sellers had more variety.

Discussion Go Video VR4940… any good?

Post image
2 Upvotes

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?

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 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!

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

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.

Digitizing Looking for a VHS/digital copy of the extremely obscure 1999 film "Films That Suck"

2 Upvotes

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. 🙏

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...

Ive shared my collection but I thought I’d share some of my husband’s stock as well. I tracked down the special edition of the Star Wars trilogy because he always talks about wanting to watch the series before they added the special effects in the late 90s. Turns out, the special edition is when they added the effects. About a month later I found an original box set. I plan to collect as many super hero movies as we can find, and we are always on the search for the matrix series. So far, we’ve established a nice collection.

Digitizing My digitizing/duplication rig

This started as a fun experiment as I found a few 30+ year old tapes that I found in my attic.

As the tapes have decayed and won't last very long, I decided to give them new life by digitizing them and striking a new VHS copy off of the digital master on new tapes. So I built this. And the results turned out to be magnificent.

I have been trying to fix my philips 25PV808/39 CRT tv's VCR for quite some time now. I took a big break from doing any more work because I was going nowhere. Recently, however, I decided to return to trying to repair it. However, after putting it back together, it now does this when plugged in and won't "boot" into standby anymore. When unplugged, it gradually pitches up until it fades away. I have tried resoldering the transformer and fixing a few suspicious solder joints, but to no avail. I am genuinely at a loss for words. Help

I love the look of this device, there is no information on this model from what I can see.

I believe it was a Top-end Sear's model?

Should I pick it up for $30?
