I don't know if anyone else is having trouble, but I've found it's getting harder to find blank VHS in stores.

Wal-mart, K-mart, Target, Meijers, Walgreens.....They're common at convenience stores in Indiana.

I find it hard to find VHS head cleaners. I had to order one on amazon not too long ago. Walgreens nor Rite Aid doesn't carry them anymore. Well, I need to get a new VCR anyhoots. I still have a ton of stuff on VHS. And that includes any Who that's not out on DVD...

But it's becoming more a problem to locate VCR accesories. I understand that many have transferred their recorded tape material onto shinies or on their pc. But there are still some, like me, who have not done that. And I'm not that much a of a video snob to look past my tapes. Also the kiddies have a bunch of stuff still on VHS and we both can't view them. The heads on both my machines are filthy, and the head cleaner thingy just isn't doing it's job. I know how to clean the heads properly(I wish I had some liquid freon), I'm not teshnical enough to take apart the machine and put it back together. No matter how many times I've seen an engineer perform the delicate operation...

What about beta? I have an internet friend(on the American side of the pond) who still has his betamax machine and tapes. In fact, he still orders blank tapes from some company. He's been recording Who since the 70s(not the early 70s) and says the quality hasn't dropped a bit...
