    Donā€™t worry, theyā€™re out there. Iā€™m pretty sure I still have one of mine. If your vids are precious I would work on finding a way to make backups. I remember the good old days. Pop in a tape and itā€™s tuning- the sound be like ~~~ooOooOoo000oooooooooooo

    My VHS tapes are precious treasures.. I have things on tape you can't get on DVD.. Idk if I should search for a used one or do what I have been avoiding for years; modernize..šŸ˜šŸ˜
    NO SURRENDER!!!! FIND A NEW ONE!!! The VHS to DVD copying process can be hit or miss sometimes. I have a TON of old wrestling tapes and thought about converting but, my pops tried to convert some of our old home videos to DVD and some of them came out so poorly afterwards he was like naw we're gonna just keep a VCR.

    Should be able to find VCRs all over the place these days, from thrift stores, Facebook Marketplace, craigslist, and of course ebay and other sites like it.

    It's funny, because VCRs seem to be going up in price these days, especially the really good ones. I guess there's a big market yet for people watching VHS and collecting it.

    I want to convert old Tapes into digital one of these days, been putting it off for a long time now.

    Sorry to hear your VCR met an end. You may find even new VCRs on ebay and maybe even Amazon now. I think you can find them on Walmart.com as well. Though I'm pretty sure they're third party sellers who sell on the walmart site.

    I have a box of VHS tapes sitting in my closet that I'd like to go through. Some stuff my parents recorded on tv, some including commercials. I want to go through them and see what's recorded. Might even have some family videos in the mix.

    Pawn shops probably still have them also.
