VHS tapes of idents

While we are on the subject of getting rid of unwated television related tat memorabilia. Is anyone interested in this unused Avago calendar from 2004?

This is a collectors item as Avago doesn't exist anymore and this even has their old channel number on the front (Channel 235).

Bidding for this unique item starts at £150.

In case you can't see it in the picture, he has written "David from [signiture]" .

This item would be ideal for someone called David and/or someone with access to a time machine.

Is the lovely Cat Porter in that? Or am I thinking of something else. If she's in it, I'll request just that month.

If I have a mouldy tape to transfer, I just fast forward and rewind a few times, as that seems to shake the worst off. Be prepared to clean the heads after each pass, though. Maybe it might be worth taking the cassette apart and blowing on the reels to see if that helps before you get going.



You don't use one of those, do you? Horrible abrasive things, and more likely to damage the heads than do any good. What you need are the chamois-tipped head-cleaning sticks from Maplin and a small bottle of isopropyl alcohol. Hold the stick steady and move the head drum back and forth.

And make sure you don't use cotton buds!

Cheers for the hints. Will look into it.

Yes. My copy of the 1994 central idents package is very dodgy to say the least, and would like a replacement! Oh well....

Good to see that the pages aren't stuck together...

I myself have got some of these lying about and have intended to make use of it in this way. Though there's not much that can be done about heads that have succumbed to past wear , I ought to get round to cleaning the head of my Beta to see if it does give any benefits...

Stunning.

Watch out that the head cleaning sticks haven't started to degrade if you have had them for a while, I've heard that they can cause more damage if they are old!
