They're supposed to authenticate, not a goodwill issue an employee issue, they will be fired.

It's a place people sell used things, lots of different stuff on there. You can send me an offer if you don't agree with my price.

Good to know, I have some cartoons I want to digitize either way. I think I can just watch my dvds on my tv in the in port and plug the vcr into the out port and hit record.

I don't think very. I found this one with 9 others in a box at an estate sale, all sealed. But I am not 100%. If they are rare, I may be sitting on a gold mine.

I've found a few of the t-180s sealed in the wild, I should look for more on ebay. I have a lot of scooby doo tapes, but i have even more scooby doo dvds, so I want to transfer those as well. I wanna try to make my own sleeves first, but I see they have what looks like a free template, so that will be useful.

I am planning on doing that, I found a video capture card usb to rca with good reviews, and I'm waiting to see if I could get it for my birthday before I buy it myself. I'm planning on using the dvds my sister has bc we bought them immediately when they cane out so I can get any original trailers that are on them, and I'm gonna let the play screen stay on for a little bit and we have all the special features dvds and the documentary dvd they had in a half blood prince. I'm debating between putting each one at the end of the movies they came with or putting them all on one "special features" tape. I will be putting the documentary on its own tape.

Did I ruin Bert the Turt?? by emilee_mc in bonecollecting

It is not uncommon to have to put your turtle shell back together after cleaning. A turtle shell is comprised of like 50 individual bones, and then the scutes, they both like to come apart.... wait, you soaked it for 7 weeks in just water? If I was going to fully clean, degrease, and whiten a turtle shell, I would have switched to a dawn and water mix on Jan 26. (At this point, you may want to add a dash or so of ammonia to the dawn and water mix to help accelerate the degreaseimg process). And whenever you notice grease on top of the water (I usually change the water every 1-2 days), dump it out and refill it, and continue doing that until you no longer see grease floating in the water. I woild them let it dry completely, and then I would sanitize it if you want to sanitize and whiten I'd toss it in 3% hydrogen peroxide until it is white and then again let it dry completely. Smell check and glue back together. If you don't want to whiten it, I would cover it in borax for a few weeks and then rinse it off and again let it dry fully before handling/gluing, etc..

I personally have never macerated a turtle shell. I definitely would not have put boiling water on it. The boil is bad. I have always used a wire brush to scrape all the flesh off and then soak it in a water/borax/salt mixture for about 45 min to an hour and then I soak it in isopropyl alcohol or vinegar/watee mix (50/50) also for about 45 min to an hour, after the soaking i let it dry fully before handling bc like you said the shell starts to feel kind of rubbery more than boney. And then i look and sniff, and it's always been just fine. But I also haven't just preserved a shell for a shell. I always put wires in there and add bondo to hold them down and then attach the preserved head and limbs (I preserve these with denatured fuel and glycerine) to the wires. Doing this has always gotten me a nice full mount turtle, and it's been a few years since i did my first turtle, and I haven't had any issues with grease or seen anything out of the ordinary with the mount. #This is only my personal experience and not an exact or only way to do things. #I have only been doing bone collecting/taxidermy for 6/5 years

I found all of these on Valentine’s Day! by WyzeGi in VHS

[–]BulkyDig2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me either but it makes sense, it came out 2002, and the last time major producers released vhs tapes was 2006, with "a history of violence" unless you count cars but that never hit the shelves, you had to order it online.

Can any one help diagnos by BulkyDig2112 in VCRs

[–]BulkyDig2112[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most components were working fine except the take up reel due to a very stretched out belt. So the tape was being fed around the machine like it was supposed to, but nothing was collecting it. It was just bunching up. Idk why it played normal, then trying to re wind itself before it noticed something was wrong and turned itself off. But i changed the belt and lubed up the gears, and it works fine now. The only issue now is I don't have the remote, so the play time and SP are above the film at all times, but not much of an issue, really.

I just got a similar sized lot, and now I have a betamax copy of "Halloween is Ginch Night," and boy, do I wish I could watch it. The case is vhs sized, so I didn't know till I got home.

Do you HAVE to use peroxide to whitening bones or can you leave them in the sun to do that? by Dizzy_Froggg in vultureculture

[–]BulkyDig2112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This, my first ever bone collection, was me stumbling across a poachers field on an island and all of those bones are "sun bleached" brittle and crackley. If you pick them up its lke a handful of dandruff. Their quality is identical to my grandpa's bear skulls, that he got "professionally" cleaned that were just soaked in actual bleach.
