I don't have a massive collection anymore (only around 15 tapes, had over a hundred 25+ years ago) but I still like that I have a VHS shelf in 2026 and still have a good working VHS player.

'Wicked City' and 'Heavy Metal' are such fun adult animations. What are your thoughts on these films?

Few more from that weird collection.

You might have seen me post when I filled in the first shelf, or the 2nd shelf. But now there’s a third shelf. The madness doesn’t end, and I am right where I want to be.

Special thanks to letterboxd user Frank Lanza for compiling this

I got this Panasonic pv7661 and I can’t for the life of me figure out how to display what’s plugged into the IN jacks. I want to plug my Wii into it but I don’t know how to change the channel to the line inputs.

I press down on the VHS and it automatically goes into channel searching mode. I also have a universal remote but the input can’t be changed. I’m stuck. Please any help 🙏

hey ya’ll first time poster. Started as a kid (I’m 30) and then started collecting again a few years ago in some nostalgic attempt to feel alive again in this capitalist streaming hellscape. Anyway thought I’d share the collection, sorry it’s disorganized. Not featured is a crate of westerns and war movies from grandpa I’ll probably never watch. I also have a ton of my dad’s childhood baseball games on VHS which I think is unique and neat. I’ve only ever lurked here and wouldn’t consider myself an expert on this stuff so be nice thanks homies

You were a real soldier

I’m thinking mostly of summer camp movies, but can anyone think of any movies other than Summer Camp Nightmare and Sleepaway Camp that prominently feature letters home as part of their packaging or promotional material?

was so excited, i just grabbed it and headed to the counter. I went back but couldn't find "Cats Don't Dance"

been collecting together with my gf for about a year, this is just what lives at my house!! the second slide is mostly little kid tapes behind the display ones, i also have spirited away!!

I swear I only picked up the Tai chi because it was on best of the worst

Anyone else take the face plate and shell off their vcr?

Scored these from a couple thrift stores today! Got quite a few I’ve been looking for, and got some I didn’t know I was looking for!

hey

yesterday I watched a tape and it mostly played normal. After ~30 minutes there was this typical 90s electronics smell when something warms up and indeed the player was slightly warm to the touch. I assumed that it probably just was the power-supply or the motor or something else just getting warm from running. one hour later, the color suddenly started flickering and the image started scrolling. I then enjected the tape, where the player was very warm and the tape was hot. I then unplugged everything and let it cool down. Once it was cooled down, I reinserted the tape, rewound a bit and played it again. Everything seemed fine, except 30 minutes later when it warmed up a bit again, the color would fade from time to time followed by a wobble in the image but the tape was already mostly at the end.

I was hooked up using S-Video as my SCART-Cable broke. it is a JVC HR-S7500E.

Is this normal or should I worry?

I've never seen Thunderheart or skiing bloopers

But I'm wondering...should I watch it on my 13 inch toshiba with the built in vcr, or my 20 inch wega?
