[vozpit]

Been replacing my VHS tapes with DVDs or Blu-Ray for years. I even got a recorder to record my tapes over to DVD. At one time, I had 1400 VHS tapes. Now, I am down to 11. These 11 are home movies & even though I transferred them already to DVD, I am holding onto them, just in case.

don't get dvds because they are piece of bullshit get dirty,scratched and others.

[jjovereats]

EMTEC. The original brilliance *always* comes through.

@"DOES NOT REPLACE NORMAL MAINTENANCE" - If it does for you, then good.

[jjovereats]

Every video cassette cleans to some extent while it plays.

[iluvbluecookies97]

I still use VHS tapes because we have a DVD/VCR player. My mom used to buy a ton of VHS tapes, so why not still use them?

[Ziplock74]

[TechnoBoy301]

[ogrejd]

[LoolipopMan]

"Does not replace normal maintenance" :(

[Devo13]

I still use VHS myself. Still have 4 VHS Players from way back unopened which should take me up till I die. Still have over 7000 VHSs in my colelction so I should be entertained.

[mrsweetguy38]

[Mellotronaic]

VHS smells better than DVD.

[mavivirgie]

[mavivirgie]

@Mellotronaic HAR HAR HARDIE DEE HAR HAR

[Mellotronaic]

@mavivirgie No, VHS actually smells good, literally. And it's a bad source of fiber.

[redwing46901]

LOL!!! I love this one....we have 6 VCR's and they all work,also we have this very same head cleaner for them all too!! We Have a huge collection of VHS tapes(bought out a old VHS rental stores tapes that was going out of business )We rarely watch TV except for news anymore.

[Warrenles]

VHS Tapes are recorded!

[PinkSilverWolf]

i Still USE a VCR now days

i don't see the need to stop using it

[truckee40]

@PinkSilverWolf Dude me too I was just watching The Godfather on my VCR.

[mrfoxboy]

@PinkSilverWolf same here :3 . heck, my main VHS deck is 25+ years old and still running like new!

Of course, when I need high-quality audio, I'll use my HiFii deck from the 90's

[jjovereats]

@PinkSilverWolf Press stop. Insert newer analogue tape, more expensive one.

[PAC1977IRISH]

@PinkSilverWolf It takes up too much space unfortunately.

[Fragosgaragedoorvids]

@PinkSilverWolf I'd still use my VCR today, if the stuff on T.V. was actually good,

[travis7310]

I actually still use VHS. I had a DVD recorder, but it broke. =(

[cyril227ify]

I love VHS!

[mavivirgie]

@travis7310 DVD RECORDERS SUCK HALF OF THE DISKS I MADE WONT EVEN PLAY

[Riddler95]

Back in the old days with VHS, I used to clean my VCR's heads using Q-Tips and 99% Rubbing Alcohol. It did a better job than a VHS Head Cleaning Tape. I would simply clean the heads and I would leave the VCR alone for 15 - 20 minutes so the Rubbing Alcohol would completely dry.

I also had a LaserDisc player, LaserDisc was alot better than VHS.

[cyril227ify]

I use typing paper and white spirit.

[arisztidoltz]

Sexy! jk

[purplecaitta]

hahahaha - "simulation"

as if someone was gonna watch this and go OMG I BETTER GO BUY SOME DUDEZ COZ OTHERWISE HEADS ON TV WILL GO FUZZY

[nthband]

I personally used them I have lots of stuff stored on them from back then. They still kick ass.

[lily0313]

i would buy anything that vincent price was selling

[hfkjehgufihgiufewi]

How was the quality of Polaroid tapes?

[rustyshackleford01]

shit

[nasw]

The standard grade ones, like the one depicted, were not all that great, as I recall. They had a "high-grade" line that, despite being a little heavy on the dropouts at times, was pretty good.

[gli7utubeo]

I love the warning at the end :"DOES NOT REPLACE NORMAL MAINTENANCE." I guess I was supposed to keep all my tapes in the freezer.

[CelesteK]

I love how poetic Mr Price is.

[StillaVirgin]

actually cold has a bad effect on VHS tapes. My mom had to throw away more than half her tapes

[ChadAsianman]

weird
