Yet I have 40 year old tapes that play fine.
I just dumped about 20 VCR tapes yesterday into the
recycle bin.
For awhile I was selling Maxell XL-II 90's, mostly from
1995-2000, recorded on once and often only played once.
Tapes in good condition can be reused and also the parts
can be used to restore older tapes.
VHS is mostly junk though unless you have something
rare/private (like a filmed event not broadcast).
I haven't dumped all the VHS here yet. Still have two T-180 in shrink wrap.
When I re-unboxed my only VCR I discovered that it would not play any tape. It's a Sears model from the early 1990's. It worked when I boxed it up after getting DVD/HDD recorders circa 2008.
