OK, I understand why Loose Cannon doesn't support electronic or DVD distribution of their recons, and I'm not complaining about that.
What I'd like to know is: Where can I actually BUY blanks VHS tapes in the States? Those things are getting rare nowadays! I found some T120 tapes at WalMart, but I can't find T160 tapes (which most of the recons need) anywhere....

| Try searching online maybe. Ebay always has some regular sellers stocking VHS. |

| Try asking your dub site, I'm sure they will be able to help you out. |

| WALGREENS (The Drug Store) which has over 6,000 locations nationwide in the US still carries VHS tapes (T-120/T-160) |

| I think in the UK places like Currys', Comet, Aldi, Internet (giigles) and other obscure shops are your best options, i certainly managed to get some new tapes, only i can't remember where from now.... |
My destiny is in the stars, and to see the day when all 108 missing eps of Doctor Who and Shada are recons and or animations on dvd! |

I saw both T120 and T160 tapes at a Jewel-Osco store in the Chicago area yesterday. If you still have trouble finding T160s, PM me. I can pick some up and ship 'em to ya.

| I've posted about the trouble I've been having finding nice VHS blanks in my area. Walgreens only carries "standard" Maxell (whatever happened to the "hi-grade" stuff?) and I've had three dubs returned with various major problems thanks to the quality of the tapes. Then I have to start the process all over again. And it's not cheap mailing what feels like a box of bricks. |

I can't understand why you're having so much trouble finding nice VHS blanks, p3jedi. I'm in Indy and they're everywhere here.
Target, K-mart, Wal-mart, Meijers, Best Buy, CVS, just to name a few. I just purchased some T-160s yeaterday. |

| What? People still own VHS players? I converted everything I had on tape over to digital many many moons ago. I do rather question the use of technology that is soon going to be impossible to buy. Anyone seen any 5 1/2" floppies for sale recently? |
