No foolin', I think I actually have my Blockbuster Video brand cleaning tape still. Kept mainly for the nostalgia because I've not played a VHS (in my VHS/DVD player - don't hate me, 'cause apparently those are rare as hell nowadays) for years.

Did these actually do anything? Not really- they pretty much just re-aranged the dirt. You were/are better off actually cleaning the machine and tape heads yourself or getting it done by someone who knows how to do it. |

Did the SNES cleaner do anything? It helped but you could also just clean the contacts with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and water with a Q-Tip and do just as good of a job. You didn't really need to buy the Nintendo-branded cleaning kits. Keeping the cartridge contacts clean and in a dust-free area helped. |

Did the SNES cleaner do anything? Not half as much as just blowing into those f***ers did. |

I have a VHS/DVD combi that has a HDMI port, absolutely baffles people. |

I have a VHS/DVD combi that has a HDMI port, absolutely baffles people. We had one of those for a bit. Replaced the MONO vhs vcr/dvd player combo unit. I was shocked that in 2005 there was still MONO units made. Few years ago found a VHS rewinder unit and a sealed VHS head cleaner tape. Was already buying a bunch of VHS and DVDs from the guy so he threw in the rewinder and the head cleaner tape for free. Head cleaner tape is still sealed. |
