I sold all mine (I had quite a large collection). Didn't get much for it but saved/reclaimed a lot of space. Also got rid of my VCR when it stopped working. Never even replaced it with anything."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"

I'm sure I once read the average lifespan of video tape is 13 years. You may want to think about transferring."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"
