Finagler 6853 Life Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I still have a couple operating VHS models. The grandkids love them. I still have a Beta Max that needs a new drive belt. Have a few Beta Max tapes that go back 40 years that would be a hoot to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I still have one but gave most of my VHS tapes away. I kept a few. I never play the darn thing though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Still have one, but not an adapter to hook it to the "new" TV which lacks the RCA input. I'm betting it'd be hard to watch since VHS tapes appeared low resolution even on the old style TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Heck I still had an RCA CED Video Disc player up until I finally tossed it a while back. The discs and tapes deteriorate so it is a losing proposition to keep them. Still fondly remember my Eight Track player in my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Not the same thing , but in the same vein , I still have a bunch of cassette tapes , and a player. Do have a couple of tapes that need repair , they are loose on one end. Would like to get them repaired if that is possible. I listen to them in my reloading/gun cleaning shop. Good stuff (to me) Gene Autry , Tex Ritter , Bob Wills, yeah , some pretty old stuff. Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Got a DVD VCR combo. It’s hooked up to a new smart TV in the bedroom. I have some old recordings of drag races from thirty years ago and a few Christmas movies that I pull out now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I own two: VHS and Beta HiFi. Both are in mothballs, along with my Akai 760D cassette deck. I have a number of BHF tapes I have never moved to digital, so I keep the players. Both are in excellent shape and fully functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punxsutawneypete Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I sstill have a Sony VHS tape player, I have a lot of VHS tapes, some of which I consider irreplacable. My LG Oled TV still as an input for for the tape player. I've notices newer TVs for the most part don't have the necessary input, so I guess I'll have to hold onto this TV too. I still have some dial telephones hooked up in my house too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit Joe #414 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Got two of these CD/UHS/VCR they work fantastic for all the VHS tapes or CD's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Shapiro Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Not me. No tapes either. I don't even have a CD player any more, or a DVD player. We gave away all of it to someone that would put it to good use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 We still do. What I need is a 8mm video playback deck. We have dozens of tapes from our motorcycle trips and the camere crapped out, so no way to watch them now. The price on flea bay are obsurd!

Sixgun Sheridan Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I still have a VHS player and some tapes, but I haven't watched any of them in over a decade. Nearly everything I had on VHS (even recordings) is now available on YouTube or DVD. I also have a dual cassette deck that hasn't seen any use either, along with a bunch of old cassettes. One of these days I'm just going to have to let them go and make some more room around the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
