VHS-C Adapter
By R. Gallo
I don't know what all the fuss is from everyone on this product. If you have ancient Compact VHS (VHS-C) tapes and need to play them, you need this adapter. It works fine and is idiot-proof. Put a battery in, open the cover, insert your VHS-C tape, close the cover, let it do it's thing for a few seconds (moving the tape to the proper position automatically) and put into your VCR.I would suggest making copies of your tapes to DVD ASAP, because I would not rely on this as a long term solution to watch your memories over and over. I think the whole concept is kind of silly, but this is 1980's technology so what do you expect.

Terrible
By Shawn
This was a terrible adapter. Not only were the instructions not clear (you need keep your fingers away from the top of the small cassette when pushing the slider door back up, because the top part of the small cassette has to flip up), but it only worked on 3 tapes. Removing the tape is difficult because you really need three hands to take it out (flip it over, hold the side button, flip the top up, and press on the white spool of the cassette to push it out, while also trying to keep the slider door from closing. After doing this with three tapes (all the while concerned that I not push too hard so I don't break anything), the fourth (and subsequent tapes) wouldn't load because the part of the small cassette that is supposed to flip up couldn't because the adapter pulled the tape out too soon, and it couldn't clear it. Arrrggh! What a hassle and a waste of money. Spend a little extra and get one of the motorized ones (borrowed my brother's, which works SO much better that I bought one).

Motorized VHS-C to VHS Cassette Adapter Best Way to Do It!
By Emmett The K
I returned a cheap, mechanical VHS-C to VHS adapter after it tore a prized family videotape. That's why they are so cheap to buy. A motorized unit is the only way to play a VHS-C in a VHS player for those that still have one or need to convert a tape to DVD. You slide the switch to the open position, the door opens, you drop the VHS-C cassette in, the motor drive takes over and you insert it in your VHS player. When completed, you slide the switch, the door pops open, the VHS-C cassette tape is re-seated and you push the VHS-C cassette out with your finger. The motorized case is much sturdier that the mechanical type as well. Unboxed but with the original warranty, this is well worth the price.
