 Because these tapes are ancient and degrading, please note a $15 charge per tape for special handling. Also, it is possible that
the video information on your tape is already lost and irrecoverable. 

If you would like to handle your own tapes, you may buy a betamax machine and transfer them onto VHS
or another current format.
