There's nothing to worry about
4/5

In any case. Around 70 percent of the work was done by it. In my VCR I have a double-deck, and while the first deck shows video and audio perfectly, the second deck would not show anything for the longest time. Even after using the tape four times for 10 seconds each, some overlay was still evident on the video, though the video and sound mostly returned following the use of the head cleaner. It is wonderful that the second deck works again, and the product has done a lot of work as expected for being discontinued so long However, I do believe this was worth the money because despite the video still looking a bit dodgy (but at least, it is now working), it restored the audio fully.

The product gets 4 stars mainly because the tape was very good at fixing problems in the VCR, but there was a little bit of wear and tear in my case that was not 'completely' fixed. There's no way for me to be sure it's my current system or the product itself, then promise a 5 star review for the next person who wants to buy it.
You will have to decide.

As we still use a VCR from time to time, it is nice to have this hard-to-find item around to keep it functioning properly.

Exactly what I was looking for. A shame it has been discontinued. I have a lot of stuff on tapes and would really like to transfer them to another medium.
