@juddboz80, I generally think it's ridiculous to be trading something new , no matter what the market value is, for something that's been around for years. Vinyl, posters, anything. However a trade's as good as what both parties agree on, so as long as both sides are happy, that's fine, but I personally won't do it.

@Duncs, the appeal to me of the Vinyl Films box set was that it's a collection of 10" records lovingly saved over time from when they first released back in 2003. It was only after I read the post on Vinyl Film's Facebook page (too long to post here, but it's in the thread on Porch somewhere) that I desperately felt like I needed it. OK, wanted it Oh, and @pdalowsky's fault too

don't you be blaming me young lady )

I'm thinking about going back to cassette tapes. Now, if I can get everyone else onboard, Kevin & I might be able to get vinyl at a reasonable price!

I was thinking about this comment last night when I realized I have several pieces of electronic equipment that I no longer use!!
I have a 5-disc CD player, a cassette deck, a standard DVD player and even an old VHS machine in my entertainment center that I haven't even powered up in at least 5 years!!!!
I'll join Scott & Kevin and go back to cassettes...
I'll have to clean the heads on my tape deck,
but I'm betting it will still work!!

Im actually looking for a good VHS player.

A project I have had on the backburner is to convert all my VHS tapes to DVD and digital... (by VHS tapes, I mean all sorts of old hockey and football games, hockey fights, miscellaneous stuff I taped, VHS camcorder stuff.

I would suggest going to straight digital and saving yourself some time, you can always then burn to dvd or bluray.

what would be the best way to go VHS----->digital?


I guess that makes sense too because it will be easier to lop off crap that I dont want and cut/organize better.


Also thinking.... I guess I can probably just toss tapes with Simpsons, 3 Stooges, etc on VHS.

There are a ton of options these days, and you can spend from under $10 to hundreds of dollars on a setup. It just depends on your needs.

An example of a $10 device:

There are a bunch of these USB type devices available, most in the $30 - $50 range. There are also cards for your PC that will give you better performance than a USB device and have more encoding options to chose from.

Just under $100:

Just over $400:

Anyone care to speculate what a Mike clear 10' by itself would be worth separated from the boxset?
