Video Tapes degrade after about 5 or 10 years when the oxide falls off This is called dropout Transfer your tapes to DVD - they last 100 years or more Our favorite 8mm VCR from Sony And we mean our favorite ever This is the best 8mm VCR ever made by Sony This is the one of the Most Complete Packages We have Every Sold - This is a tested Sony 8mm stand alone video recorder and playback, in very good condition, and we guarantee that it works. We believe this unit is the best compact 8mm unit ever made by Sony. The video heads almost never wear out, even after years of use. The unit is very simple, and less likely to break down like some of its larger brothers with circuit boards and leaky capacitors that cannot be repaired. This unit can be repaired, unlike some other Sony 8mm vcr's for which there are no longer any parts. It will work very well for you. Be wary of Ebay sellers who "have no tape to test." Tapes cost about 2 dollars, and it only takes a few minutes to test. We have tested this unit with a tape, both recording and playback, and it works. It is compact, about 8 x 8 x 3, and weighs only about 3 pounds. It operates on a Sony AC power unit, ACP-80UC, which is included. Also included is the RFU-80UC adaptor which is required for audio/video connections for this unit. It has an excellent picture. Manual is included. Original Sony Hardcase is included This item cost over $1500 when new! It is perfect for transferrring your 8mm videos to DVD or VHS, PC or Laptop, or just viewing them. To transfer to DVD or VHS simply use rca connectors. To transfer to your PC or Laptop, you will need a video converter such as the ones made by EasyCap, which you can find here on ebay or elsewhere for about $20.
