Finished building my vhs shelf!

Built a shelf out of common 2x6’s and 1x6’s. Cut, routed, stained and polyurethaned. Came out absolutely beautiful for a basement vhs shelf.

There’s something about VHS on a CRT that is just special. Killer Klowns through a 37 year old VCR on a 20 year old CRT :)

I often play movies through my SVHS vcr on my flat screen, but sometimes I gotta come back to the old setup.

Will VHS have a vinyl-esque revival?

With the existence of physical media being constantly threatened, will we see a vinyl-esque revival of VHS?

At one point, I would have said no, but nowadays I can imagine a future where people look for new VHS tapes out of nostalgia. Similarly to vinyl, VHS is unreliable compared to other formats like DVD and Blu-ray as it can be easy for tapes to jam, but the rough picture quality could lead some to seeing the image as offering more of an authentic visual.

How to people go about trades?

Not a sale post. I have duplicates of various horror movies but I have been looking for one big Scooby Doo lot or Evil Ed to trade for. How do people find interested people? Facebook? Reddit?

Mafia! (1998) Such an underrated movie.

I know I’m not the only one that loves this movie. Man shit is still funny to this day! Parody at its finest. If you love Goodfellas, Godfather, Casio and more you’re in for a good laugh. Mafia! Is what Scary movie is to horror. Pure comedy 😆

Early bday present

Long time lurker, first time posting.

My wife scored 15 episodes of The Muppet Show for my bday present. Shes pretty rad. Guest hosts are also great in these episodes too.

Does anyone know what this loose pin could be in the VHS?

It rolls all over the place. I don't dare try to play the tape in my vhs player.

Also I tried unscrewing the screws in the rear of the tape but they just spun around and didnt come out so I'm unsure how I could remove this but I imagine it's an integral part of the tape itself so... yeah this is a broken tape right?

JVC HR S6600EK - Finally found a decent SVHS VCR out in the wild

Got this for £8 at a car boot sale today - didn't expect it to be fully functional, but it is!

Is this any better for capturing old tapes to digital? I used a JVC HR J256EK last year to convert family videos and I'm wondering if I should redo them again with this unit?

Grabbed a stack for July 4th 🇺🇸🎆

$10 at my local book store. I was delighted by Warlock - it's an old rental that was converted to clamshell. I saw it for the first time recently and it's quickly become a favorite. No lenticular cover for The Frighteners, but it's in good condition. Rest are bangers I was missing.

Shopping for VHS tapes and getting takeout was way better than traffic and fireworks.

Terminator Super VHS transfer (first four minutes)

Recently transferred the Super-VHS (S-VHS) copy of Terminator (1984) I acquired a couple years ago (https://www.reddit.com/r/Terminator/s/Lws07qNTUw). Used Elgato video transfer and my friend’s Super VHS player to get it done.

This is just the opening, but if anyone would like a copy of the full video transfer you can reach out to me or comment below.

I’ve never noticed these black plastic encasements on a vhs before. Anyone know their purpose?

Is this kind of damage salvagable? And if fixed risky for my VCR to play?

I bought a pretty rare tape at a garage sale and was thrilled just to see it. Upon inspection the owner said I could have it since it was broken. The position it's broken in looks like i can swing it back into place and gorilla glue it right back together. Would that type of repair hold up to use in a VCR? I wouldn't want to risk my player. Is this something you've seen before?

Used up all my luck for a while with this find

$100 on FB Marketplace. Guy got it nice and cleaned up before selling.
