Most tapes I bought off ebay or from my own personal archives. I tried to give the best analog to digital transferee....This goes for most of the videos on my channel... I used to own a Panisonic AG-1980 vcr and a 2004 JVC DRM-10 dvd recorder with a LDS chipset to remove Chroma and fix color.... a short S-Video copper wire with Monster Audio cables more to write about later....
