You just added mold to the cleaned tape on the first pass when you rolled them up taught and put it down. The clear tape did not pass through the alcohol pad.

worked fine no problem thank you sir

please ship to Australia in the future! or just to me? lol

I thought mold meant the end of the tapes

Very cool. What's next, strawberry scented 8-track cartridges?

Worked for a company in the 80's to 00's running machines that wound the videotape into the empty VHS shells, I remember all the various colors & designs we used, hate to think how many millions we produced over the years

I had a vhs tape that was completely white all mold.

Got my unit today. It's great, I recommend! I've always fantasied about such a device and how useful it would be. But now it's reality and I couldn't be happier.

Thank you for helping save the tapes. You're doing a huge thing for the hobby and we appreciate you!

I'll be trying out one of these on my next KZbin video.

This looks great! One thing is that the reels don't stay still but move up and down. This can cause the tape can be double strikes and can be damaged.

Great Macine Workes Beautiful I Highly recommend this guy !!!!

I am planning on buying these

That's Awesome!!

I received mine and love it - thank you for this video - one question - what are the spindle collars for?

Do I need really an extra spindle for betamax?

Nice project. Isn't the spindle for vhs and beta the same? I removed a reel from an old vhs vcr and rewind it manually with this reel. It works fine.

Im ready and on your list in purchasing your vhs cleaner.

Can you make a machine to clean ¾ inch U-matic tape?

Very informative. Thank you.

Does the end that connects to the unit snap into the unit or just kind sit in it. Ty

Show us your tape collection!

I have a Phantom Menace clamshell with a lenticular cover. Pretty cool collection/video.

Great little device!

When I try to buy this vhs tape cleaner on your site I get a message that the product is password protected and I should enter the password!!??? WTF!? WHY!?

Very cool! I have one that I need to replace the battery on. I live near Tampa. I think Black Roses also has a cover like that but no lights or sound. Keep up the good work!

Ready for my cleaner. Thanks

This is awesome! Does it ship to Canada? Also what state is it shipping out of?

Why have the USA / Canada chosen cardboard VHS boxes? In Europe, we have sturdy plastic cases. 😁

can i purchase this?

I remember that VHS when I was little. I saw it at the Video Center USA back when it existed.

That's cool. Thanks for sharing

How much?

Ayyyyeeeeeeeeee

प्राइज क्या है

I ordered, but its on back order. Ready to buy!

Do you guys send overseas?

Great idea! I use to do it with a worn head vhs player and a head cleaning tip, it automatically reduce increase speed depending the tape state. However it require you to be careful not to make tape going out of the head and must hold the head cleaning tips, in summary you're is much effortless method! Unfortunately cleaning vhs tape does not guarantee at all the full playback there is also a lubricant on it, and when it's gone, it's gone no matter how clean is the tape, i can see the loss of lubricant while cleaning the tape in the vhs player, when it stop at the cleaning process, you can be sure it won't play correctly! So it would be a good idea to replicate the vhs ff and rewind process with the same tracking force! Furthermore just some bad inch can affect the whole thing, like reel to reel or cassette! If eventually you pass this, then it come colour drop/lose, Hifi sound drop/lose... In fact as any tape, but more pronounced with vhs as the drum head speed is incredible we need new reissues and of course like for vinyl when possible from analog masters!!! People are just realising how it was important to revitalise home analog music, be still not realized how much more important is to revitalize home analog video whatever the advance of digital! Listening to vinyl/whatever analog sound support and watching analog content from whatever analog support with a true grid less trinitron hd CRT screen is like analog audio a unique engaging experience that digital will never be able to offer! And don't think your 8k 1000$caler on your 8k oled screen can do as good as the hd trinitron crt, same as analog content digital display will never offer the same quality as analog display for analog content! We loose one of the most important home experience, watching video as your eye are watching! (and don't bother me with numbers, despite lower available res, blocked by compagnies specially to promote digital, analog video is way more faithful to how our brain analyse true images)

Just received mine cant wait to start using it

You can add an optical sensor to turn off the motor when the clear leader is out so you don't have to wait for the end of the tape.

Would you ever offer a service if people sending in tapes and charge per tape cleaning? As someone who only needs one clean, I don’t think I need a machine. Super cool though!

Great how do I order one ?

Looks a handy machine. What power does it run on? Forgive me if mentioned in the vid but skipped bits. I clean tapes using an old unused VCR with damaged heads but sometimes tape comes off the guides and gets chewed so this is a great alternative especially with the speed setting and ability to clean both sides at the same time on the final pass. I'd be interested in one if it can run on a uk volt power adaptor and shipped to the uk.

how much posted to the UK ?

💯🇹🇷⭐️👍

Is this single motor belt ?

Doing the lord’s work ❤

I take it this device will clean BETAMX tapes? I mean, once the spools are out of the case there's no difference between Beta and VHS. As I have a few boxes dating back to the late 70s ... oh yes, my betamax machine still works.

Just found your channel and subscribed. I'll check out your website soon. I do a lot of VHS-to-digital transfers for others, and this is something I could definitely use.

Got mine ordered. Can't wait!
