Re-record, not fade away

There are no more VHS tapes or playback equipment in the house.

Still got a cupboard full of VHS tapes, two boxloads of Betamaxes and even a handful of N1700s, Video2000s and Umatics. One day I will find the tuits to digitise them. No intention of chucking out the playback equipment either; but then I'm a rapacious collector of obsolete electronics!

I did equip myself to digitize them but it proved to be too much hassle; I've bought DVDs of the ones I cared about instead, and reckon that with appropriate costing of my time I'm ahead.

I really liked my Video2000, shame it failed to compete :-( I have been gradually replacing with DVDs what I both want to and can, but there are some things copied from the telly that aren't available on DVD which I would at some point like to digitise, but my priority list has a lot of things in front of that.
