My original VCR recorder died so I couldn't even play them, I then
found a machine in a local 'pawnbroker' that could transfer from tape
to CD but most of my home recorded tapes won't playback on the 'new'
machine as it seems to be running at a different speed to the original.
So I can't offer idea that as a solution to your problem.
And in fact I only have one tape I really want to keep as it is an
off-air recording of a BBC drama that I had a role in as a cycling
body-double for the star. I appear only fleetingly and no more than
two or three family members know where/when, but it was my one moment
of fame so I'd like to keep it!
