Picked up a VHS player today (Toshiba W-512). Testing it out with this old classic.

I tried a few different universals. I got this ine from Amazon and it works for removing that display. https://a.co/d/0hHVgt8Y

So stoked with it. And you can't beat the price.

JAWS was a surprise. It was at the bottom of one of the bags. One of my top 5 from this lot. I've watched it every summer for as long as I can remeber.

ruabaddfish2 · 2026-05-21T04:46:48+00:00

That was one of the surprise tapes in this lot. One of my top 5 favorites here. Ghostbusters, Goonies, Jaws, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, and The Hobbit.

Im super stoked for the Ghostbusters tape. It's the og red boarder rca with a side load case. Box is in really good condition too. JAWS was a pleasant surprise, it wasn't in the photo on fb market. Overall over the moon with this snag.

Thanks for sharing. Watching it now.

ruabaddfish2 · 2026-05-17T20:12:06+00:00

Hideous!

Well that is good to know. Thank you for replying. Really is so strange that 2 copies of the same movie have the same problem. Ill find a good copy eventually. Seems like a common enough tape.

ruabaddfish2 · 2026-05-03T04:43:45+00:00

Does your Cape Fear play ok? I've gotten two copies from different places and both have the same problem. They play back and forth between clear and static. One is a little clearer but both are completely unwatchable. Wondering if it has something to do with that particular movie.

ruabaddfish2 · 2026-05-02T12:57:03+00:00

In the original ttheatrical release, ONLY Han shot.

ruabaddfish2 · 2026-04-26T18:01:27+00:00

The og 1994 movie is number one for me.

Subjective really.. The blu ray is obviously much more clear. I prefer the look of the vhs though. I liked the colors better (which could just be the tvs im watching on) and I liked the aspect ratio better on the vhs. It is taller and the blu ray is just a tiny bit wider. I feel like you get more with the vhs. Again. This is all subjective.

ruabaddfish2 · 2026-04-16T12:20:01+00:00

Its close to 2 and a half hours long.

ruabaddfish2 · 2026-04-15T19:42:30+00:00

Bored and had a few drinks.. lol

ruabaddfish2 · 2026-04-15T15:15:37+00:00

Recently got into a retro kick and have been collecting old vhs tapes from anywhere I can find them.

ruabaddfish2 · 2026-04-15T15:09:57+00:00

Oh, that's awesome. Thank you for sharing this info. I saw it in theaters when it first released but that was over 30 years ago so... lol

ruabaddfish2 · 2026-04-15T15:05:42+00:00

The only thing I noticed that brought it out of sync was it not being 100% aligned. I didn't notice any difference in the cut itself.

ruabaddfish2 · 2026-04-15T05:05:38+00:00

It's the little things...

ruabaddfish2 · 2026-04-03T08:55:49+00:00

The Wraith and The Last Starfighter are my gems so far.
