| Remember the old B&W reel-to-reel video tape format that was popular
in the late 60's and early 70's? Chances are your high school or college
had this equipment and you may even have some tapes you made from this early
video era. Perhaps you have some old game tapes, the school play, graduation...
whatever. We can transfer these obsolete Sony, Panasonic, and Memorex video
tape reels to current VHS videocassettes so you can enjoy them once more.
These 30+ year old tapes have now deteriorated to the point where they are virtually unplayable without extensive restoration methods being applied, first. This is a time consuming and labor intensive process involving several stages to achieve a suitable outcome. Therefore, our charges must reflect the time spent and the materials required.
-5" reels (up to 30 minutes) = $70.00 These charges include the blank VHS videocassette. Please note that some tapes may be so badly deteriorated as to be unrestorable. In this case they will be returned to you without charge. |
