they may be great for sewing certain things but i have not been able to try this out...some day's i think i should just sell it...some days i think i should really try to find a new vhs player...do they even make them? probably not...and do i want to spend more money...not really...so there it sits useless, and it has probably under 5 hours of use in its history...
Yes, they still sell VHS machines. In fact, my DVD player has a VHS side and I can copy (if I knew how! :lol: ) a tape to disc with it. It wasn't very expensive, either. We just still have small kids and a huge collection of DVD's I refuse to rebuy as DVD's so I needed a VHS player.
