Hi 8 video player

Post by PhilipHowe »

Hi, I don't suppose anyone has a hi8 video camera I could borrow for a short while?
I've found some old tapes a mate give me and thought I'd get round to looking through them.
If there's any of worth on them, then I'll capture it to my laptop.
The camcorder he gave me was broke and has long gone to landfill.

Thank you.

I'll have to check for sure, but possibly. Can't do it tonight, but tomorrow I'll get back to you.
Best regards

Hi John, if there's such a video camera in the stuff you are selling from Gwen's dad, feel free to lend it to Phil if it's not already been sold.

Thanks Mel. Sadly, nothing in there and also nothing in my own stuff.

I'd have a check on eBay Phil and perhaps pick up a video camera for peanuts. That could be attached to the PC or TV for viewing.
Best regards

Mel, thanks for that kind offer.
Jon, thanks for looking, I am looking on ebay and gumtree etc at the minute, but such is the age of these camera, they come with a hefty postage amount.
Thanks, I'll keep searching...
