Well, I know how to solve all your problems! First, the Harry Potter video! You could probably buy it in a charity shop! The risky video that changed colour, try it and you can buy a new VCR for £40!

Professionally cleaning a video head is so easy, even a child could do it! You DO NOT need to take it in to do it! All you need to do is open up the video recorder, get some lighter fluid onto some printer paper, put it flat against the drum and manually rotate the drum about 10 turns. Turn the paper over and do the same again! There you have a professionally cleaned head! EASY!! Why he don't show you that is anybodies guess! Pure profiteering I guess.
