Default LF: VCR/VHS Player

Hi all,

My parents are moving and I'm helping them pack their house of 20+ years up. I found a box of old VHS tapes with home videos taken when we were all kids. 90's Christmas, sports, kids graduations, etc. As well as every Rock Em' Sock Em' from 1 to 9!

I want to digitalize these for their Christmas present this year and I need to get my hands on a VCR player or a VHS player (is there a difference?). I don't mind paying a bit of money for it or I would just need to borrow it for a few weeks.

Please DM me if you have one of these lying around. Thanks!

Funny enough I ran across my old player (a little dusty) in the basement recently. I assume it works, it did 10 years ago when it was last plugged in. I opened the remote, the batteries were crusty but don't appear to have leaked into the remote so it should work too. You can borrow it for free or buy it for a case of beer.

Just go to any Goodwill or Value Village store, they have a million of 'em lying around for like five bucks.

Before you acquire this, remember to be sure the manual comes with so you can figure out how to set the time or it will flash 12:00 PM for quite some time.

Finding blank VHS tapes is a dangerous game! Is it a wedding? Is it porn? Good luck sir and god speed
