Do you trip over a stack VHS tapes in the morning? Do you look through bins of old movies at the thrift store? Do you have a VCR connected to your CRT/HDTV? You're in the right place.

Identifying Dutch Disney/WB printdates
Most Dutch Disney and Warner VHS releases after 1996 have printdates, if you can averiguate, is MMDDYY for 90s releases and MMDDYYYY for 21st century releases, for example, Lady and the tramp have a print date of 10131997, so october 13, 1997

Just picked up a VCR for the first time in ages. Is this a tape or head issue?
Yeah, so I just picked this up at Goodwill. Haven't owned a VCR is ages. I picked up Pinocchio to test. I plan on tearing this thing apart and checking any caps, and looking up some videos online on head cleaning. Just curious if this is a permanent issue that can't be fixed, the tape, or something that can be fixed with a little TLC.
From what I read online it's called "bearding", but couldn't find much more info other than that's what it's called.
I found a remote in eBay I plan on picking up cause I can't get rid of the time stamp at the top. I assume that's the only way to resolve that?
Also, is this a halfway decent model?

Complete Trilogy
Just got the ultra clean first release Part 2 in today, finishing the first 3! I may get Final Chapter, and Part 7 because of the art, but next to that, I think that’s a good stopping point, lol. I like all the movies, but these plus the 2 I mentioned are my favorites. Gotta stay true to the first releases!
