Save your old tapes with this adapter!
I am converting piles of family VHS-C cassettes to digital and these adapters are necessary to get the job done. This lets your C size tapes play in a standard VCR. This is one of the better adaptors for this purpose. Not cheap feeling, sturdy, smooth, and functional!

Works good
Working good so far. Had some issues getting the battery cover back on after inserting a new battery but it's a minor issue & doesn't affect how it works at all. I've seen some reviews say the item seems flimsy or rickety, etc. This is how these VHS-C adapters really were made. I bought a JVC movie camera in late 1988, also got 2 of these tape adapters back then when I bought the camera. The last of the two died on me about a year & a half ago after working for about 27 years (long time in tech world). When it was brand new it was flimsy and somewhat lightweight & seemed cheaply made BUT that's the way they are/were, that's how they were made. It doesn't really affect how it works. Over the years that I had it there were some minor issues with it but I was always able to watch home videos without incident. This product that I purchased and received last week works just like the ones I bought years ago. Looks the same, acts the same and has the same little quirks that the other ones had minus the battery cover issue, which is insignificant and minor. It is made for tiny VHS-C tapes, I used the tapes with a small JVC camera from 1988 until 1996 when the camera itself died. I continued to use the tape adapters to watch the videos for the next 9 or so years.You have to press down on the tape to insert it, it can sometimes be tricky, nothing new it was like this years ago too with my older adapters, it might seem at first as if it won't fit but you have to press down until you hear a click or pop sometimes. When the lid is closed you can see & hear the rollers go up and pull the tape, it might sound flimsy but it's supposed to be that way, always was. One thing to remember, if your AA battery is not brand spanking new the rollers and functionality might seem very slow, it's not the adapter causing the problem, it's your battery. A brand new battery will make the difference, the adapter responds to how good the battery is. This item showed up in good condition, works good, I'm satisfied with it. I've used it to watch about maybe 12 videos so far, I have a box of a little over 50 tapes and I have no concerns that there will be any issues. I have not had it eat up any tapes or destroy any videos, usually when that happens it's a VCR issue. If the rollers stop moving after you inserted the tape, or seem slow moving, try putting a new battery in it. If anything happens in the future I will update but I have doubts there will be a problem. Like I said, I had two of these & they both lasted over two decades before dying, they might seem rickety but they do the job. I had a hard time finding this in person at any store, I might be buying a second one in the future if I don't transfer videos over. It takes 1 AA battery in the side compartment. Again, no issues, works fine.

Gears loose on initial purchase - easy fix
Had problems first few tapes. Issue was the tape would not keep tension after inserting in the adapter and then trying to play in VCR. You could see the VCR tracking icon come up on the screen and then the tape would stop. The sometimes when you would try to eject the adapter, the VHS-C tape would not be fully retracted into the adapter and become stuck in the VCR.Fix - While troubleshooting, I could hear that the gears inside the adapter didn't sound quite right. The VHS-C actual tape would not fully retract into its own case. The adapter was closing the door of the VHS-C tape before the magnetic tape was fully retracted and then opening its own lid.I took all of the small screws off the back of the adapter and then reinserted and hand tightened. I was not able to remove the back plate as there is some type of plastic tab keeping it in place but I was able to lift the sides and see the gears. Once reinstalled, the gears sound like they were engaging the entire time. This meant that the magnetic portion of the VHS-C tape was fully retracted into it's own case before the adapter opened the door.Note - all of the very small screws are not the same length so you have to note exactly where they were removed from.Since the fix, I have digitized approximately 20 VHS-C tapes with absolutely no issues.

This product did not work and damaged my videotape--takeup motor failed to fully function
I am a professional video film maker. I transfer most video formats to digital. When my VHS C adapter broke, I order this one. I don't know if this was a lemon (i.e. a rogue bad item) or if there is a design flaw that affects the product across the board.FYI--I use high end Mitsubishi VHS 4 head machines. I put in a brand new AA battery into the adapter, inserted a VHS-C cassette, and pushed play on my machine. It played fine for 2 minutes, then I heard strange sounds, and the image broke up. I stopped the machine, pushed eject, and it was immediately clear that tape had been dumping into the machine (i.e. the take-up motor was not fully functioning). So I put in a different brand new AA battery, inserted a different VHS-C tape, and the same issue occurred. So to confirm that this product was indeed what was causing the problem, I borrowed a friends VHS-C adapter, tried both of the tapes that had not worked with this unit, and there was no problem when I used my friend's adapter.Please note, that it could be just this one item that failed, and it may or may not reflect on this product in full scope.
