[78-L] Kinescopes (WAS Average Age)

[Robert M. Bratcher Jr.]

Never thought about belts aging from non use. Oh well, I guess I might as well 
hook a VCR up to my computer then use Nero Vision to make DVD's from the old VHS 
tapes of which no current DVD is available to purchase. I've got several movies 
like that including the 1959 Mickey Rooney version of The Last Mile which I 
taped off WGN cable in the middle of the night many years ago. Might as well 
turn those unavailable movies & educational stuff into DVD's......

I am the same. I have 2 remaining machines and planning to buy a VCR/DVD 
burner combo soon. Even with no use, belts will age and fail. Some day 
you may take one out of the box expecting to find a brand new machine 
only to discover that it is DOA.
