I realize that this is getting a bit off topic, but I
have a project that has been stuck for a few years and
a few words of wisdom would be very welcome.
I have a set of Video Tapes (reel to reel) which go
in a Sony Video Tape Recorder. I got the machine
working smoothly enough, but cannot get a stable signal
out of the box. I tried both the RF output and the
video outputs. I would like to get the tapes transferred
to digital media or at least VHS before they deteriorate
too much. They are mostly 1970's vintage.
Do you thing a Time Base Corrector of the sort you can
find on ebay would have a chance of correcting this
situlation? I realize there are no guarentees, but
would I be barking up the right tree?
Thanks for any help
