VHS Shell Replacement

简介

In this guide, you will learn step-by-step instructions on how to replace the broken shell of a VHS tape when it is too broken to work correctly in a VHS player. In doing this repair, you will be able to salvage the tape so that it can be digitized or continue to be watched. No special skills are needed for this repair, with a screwdriver being the only tool used. It is recommended that you cut or rip off any labels on the sides of the tape before beginning, so that it will be easier to take the top half of the shell off.

Hello. Does anyone know where to buy new cassette parts including the shell, hub and all the internals? I'm looking to move tape from a broken shell to a new one so that I can play it and digitize it. Thank you.
