The second video went to plan: it was also making hideous noises. I took it apart and rebuilt it but couldn't find anything wrong with either cassette. They worked perfectly after though - perhaps I reset the ratchets? Subscribed!

I have an old VCR eats my tapes. I just discovered that it is the right rotator. There are 2 rotators for the videocassette tape reels: the left one with the rubber band and the right without the band. The right rotator for tapes stop spinning and the left one only rotates. Then it eats up the tape and I have to eject immediately before any damage is caused. Can you tell me why the right reel in VCR is not rotating like the left?

Hi! I have a cassette adapter that I put the smaller vhs tapes from my camcorder into. When I play a few tapes they’ve got like a static at the bottom of the screen. I know these tapes are kinda old but is there any way I can fix this problem? It must be coming from the smaller vhs tape rather than the cassette adapter I’m thinking. Anyway any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
@Sol-Cutta27 күн бұрын
You dont NEED to splice the spine label COLLECTORS..unscrew the tapes as normal, release lift the tape header protector (he calls it the head cover) then SLOWLY , GENTLY begin to lift the top video cassette sleeve and slowly give a gentle left right motion (zig zag) this will slowly and neatly lift the spine label away from ONE edge of the cassette spine.(That its attached to) Very slowly and gently do this until the ENTIRE half of the sticker lifts up and away from the spine. You will feel the tension of the sticker against the plastic, NEVER force this and dont do it fast. Once it is off the entire front of the cassette will lift away and the bottom half will have half a sticker attached to its bottom section. When you place the top back on ensure you dont knock the sticker til the top is down then gently press down the sticker half left to right.back to front centre to edges..then hold the top of tape turn it over and.replace screws.
