What about those Tapes that don't play anymore....

If you collect VHS tapes than you know sometimes shit happens and you are left with a non working tape. Most collectors are aware that you can repair a VHS tape and get it working again, but most do not know how. And that really fucking sucks! It is a shitty feeling to have a really rare VHS tape that you can't watch. Sure the box is nice, but you want to be able to watch the movie inside. So...With that in mind I am going to begin a weekly or bi-weekly (not sure which yet) series of posts dedicated to the repair and maintenance of VHS tapes. This will include simple stuff such as removing the stickers and sticker residue from your Ex-rentals without damaging the artwork, to rather complex things like replacing the moving parts inside, or repairing a popped tape. Even some lesser known stuff like restoring frayed box corners and even removing tape mold.

It did not look this way when I put it in the VCR...

 I have opened up literally hundreds of videotapes over the course of my lifetime and I have yet to encounter a busted ass tape I can not repair. So, keep checking back and sooner or later your bound to see the first post materialize.
