Sorry for my english...
I have an old VHS tape from 1990 or so (PAL) and i will play it on a PAL vcr.
The tape have small "bitemarks" or what they are called it looks like the sharp edge of a saw.
The sawmarks is on the down side.
I have tried the tape on 2 vcrs on the
Sharp VC-S2000 (thisone have some sheep TBC build in)
Sharp VC-A30 (old regular 90s vcr)
None of the vcr are able to play it but if i fast forward the tape while i look on it i can see the picture, but not hear the sound
In regular play mode the tape youst stop or get black image no sound her maby 1 sec then pause etc.
So is there any PAL vcrs that dont cost more than 430$? that are able to play the tape?
Or must i go to a special company to get it to work?
The movie its not that important, but i am buying a new vcr anyway.
Cus these old i have dont play old tapes good anyway (1980-1990 tapes).
The vcr marked in Sweden are almoust instinct, Swedish store cleks think they are so cool and hip and only sells the "new" dvd recorders for 500$ and if I ask them about VHS tape recorder they laugh and says yeh you can buy this "insert lowbudget model" for 71$ it have showview and have 2 scart outputs...

Your tape is ruined. The VCR "ate" it.

Are parts of the tape actually missing? If so, then toss it. If not, you can try to replace the plastic part, which sometimes works. (Take a newer VCR tape cassette, open it up and remove the tape. Repeat with yours and transfer your tape to the new cassette.) Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.
