Need a fully working 90's/early 2000's camcorder player for my Video8/8mm tapes.


Pics of what i mean at the bottom post


Had a very kind person here with a machine but this is not working as well unfortunately, so I'm still on the look-out for Digital8/Video8/8mm tape as my machine like many others has died! Please note VHSc or DV machines are not compatible with Video 8ect...


I'm also going to do other people tapes to PC as I got very good high quality transfers with converters and upscalers with Premier Pro software doing the final polishing, so I'm happy to buy a fully working old camcorder as well, the digital ones will be more beneficial as well.


Thanks for helping. Thanks everyone who's tried to help me so far!!

Hi Brendan, thanks for replying, I'd only need 7 days to do them in to transfer to my pc, so I can do 1-2 per night after work and looking after kids ect.. Perhaps that's OK for you..thanks for offering...




Perhaps I can advise you or anyone testing old machines, to test the machine with a blank tape first, then one with recorded footage later if no problems occur, so if the tape fails to eject, you haven't damaged an already prerecorded tape.


Thanks every one.

Hi


I just tested and although it is working it does cut out intermittently whilst playing the tapes but I do remember when I plugged it into my tv a couple of years ago to check the old 8mm tapes I was able to watch them via that and then got the tapes put into digital form. I understand if you don't want to take the risk seeing you have already tried with another one.


All the best

Brendan

    • I believe that Crown Post Offices are normally owned by the Post Office, and are frequently in valuable high street sites, so I would not be surprised if their sale value (or rentals to be derived if not sold) would be enticing, particularly for those offices running at slim or no profit margins. Happy to be proven wrong, of course. 
    • The name has got a 50s feel about it so in my mind it’s for older people who have very specific concerns. Nothing wrong with that.

    • It is a challenge.  These sorts of services are increasingly expensive to deliver as fewer and fewer people use them.  Most people don't want to have to go back to using their lunch hour to queue up at the bank or Post Office.  So the options  are - reduce the service, make it more expensive or the tax payer subsidises it.
