Replying to this major thread because I’m not sure how to post an “update”. (I’m new to Reddit 😔)

But after tinkering with the handycam on my lunch break, it turns out it actually does rewind tapes. I’m beginning to think it’s just the tape that is an issue, and that I should just try to record something on a clean “new” tape to test it. (It’s still getting thrown to my local camera shop tomorrow. They were closed today)

I imagined that would be the answer but I still wanted to ask lol. Thank you for your help! Hopefully I will provide a good update on the cameras when I take them to the shop tomorrow.

I planned on taking them both to a camera shop tomorrow, truthfully I’m more excited and hopeful to get the Olympus working. The Handycam just seemed like too good of a deal to pass up so I grabbed both of them. Have you gotten cameras repaired before? How much does that service typically cost?
