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

    • Don't forget to put water out for the birds during this very hot spell. Just remembered to do it myself.
    • Just visited Carlton following the recommendations above and agree with everything that's already been said. Great non-nonsense service. Another patient phoned while I was there and I heard Carlton say "If you're in pain, don't worry, I'll fit you in," which says it all.
    • Thanks i went to the chiropodist for my toenails! Not my gait. It was a remark he made on seeing my insoles, suggesting tennis ball w revised etc. .  He doesn’t do insoles and at that time i thought mine were ok. A podiatrist has sophisticated equipment for gait analysis etc. it’s not always just about your feet. I have flat feet but am also doing some wierd way of placing my feet. They are also v expensive ! re Guys self referral, I’m not in pain or immobile so think I’d wait a long time for an appointment!  However before my insoles I did have foot pain and also fell over my own clown feet quite regularly!   chiropractor is something different again.    I think I’m after a second opinion on my insoles.  Carlton Jefferson is the chiropodist rear of 60 Peckham Rye  
    • Hey Huggers, please can you share the fabulous chiropodist's details?  Huggers, I think podiatrists are the same as chiropodists, pretty much. Also, why aren't you sticking with the chiropractor, out of interest, if they seem to think the problem is more posture-related, rather than solely (sorry) down to the feet?
