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've noticed quite a few charity shops recently with big signs up saying 'we don't want your stinking VHS tapes', or at least more polite words to that effect. What did you manage to do with them? Did you just have to chuck them out?

That's so sad! We still use our VCR quite a bit - I have it hooked up to record from the digibox.
