VHS....

I have a small box of never available on DVD or streaming items such as a tape of a great Al Jolson biography, the 1968 conventions and several poetry ones. And own no VHS player now.

What is the best and cheapest place to get transfers to DVD or USB? Once saw some astronomical fee, and I’m also not talking about the memory box of old home movies on film and camera film source pictures service. Just VHS.

My friend actually owns a shop that does exactly that in Wilmington DE.
It might be cheap to get a player on eBay and write the information to a flash drive.
I’ll ask my friend.

We kept our vhs recorder and the tapes. All the original Disney movies. Got rid of the 8 track.

You will need a VCR. Pick one up at a yardsale or thrift shop. Then you need something like this https://www.amazon.com/Converter-Digital-Capture-Support-Windows/dp/B087TDN2FL/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=vhs+to+usb+converter&qid=1617644809&sprefix=vhs+to+&sr=8-5. and a computer.

Good luck!
