My vcr started doing this today, how can i fix it?

Its a grundig gv 920 hifi

Is this a loose/worn belt?

It only started today btw

Its fine until you use it for ~1 hour Ive tested multiple tapes

I've been using this vcr for 10 months (before it was in the attic really long)

Sorry for poor video quality

(Im not necessarily an expert but i think i can fix it, help needed tho)

Recording Digital to VHS Advice

Hey guys, I’m brand new to the VHS world, and was looking to record my favorite movies / shows from the shitty streaming services before I cancel my subscription for good. Is there any tips you can give before I start doing stuff the billionaires will hate?

To clarify, I’m planning on getting an HDMI to RCA/AV adapter to plug my computer into the input of my parents old VCR that I found in storage (haven’t tried the record function yet, but the VCR still seems to work perfectly)

Sony HVR-M15AU: is it worth anything?

I've got this professional recorder for basically nothing. It turns on, does it's initial tape check and outputs video (tested with a PS2 power supply), but i don't have any tape to test it with. It doesn't have it's remote or original PSU. As it's not my thing, for how much could I sell it on this "unknown" working state?

Why won’t this VCR work?

It’s not accepting tapes. when it’s almost in, it makes a whirring sound and nothing more.
