    I had a vcr that stopped playing but this helped me to be able to start playing them again and convert them to dvd. Thanks to this device, years of memories were saved.

    Got an older VCR ?, buy this- get it clean, and then start your transfer with software to saving on digital. Very good policy to get it clean prior to using it after years of no use.

    I have an old VCR to PC unit that I have been archiving videos with. This helps keep the heads clean and the capture quality optimal. I'm glad to see they still make this stuff!

    When I received it, the outer plastic was broken. I glued it back and used the product. It seems to work, just fine, as intended.
