If the first two fixes don’t solve your issue, maybe your cassette tapes pressure pads have developed a thin, hard coating that is preventing optimal tape travel. To solve this issue, you can try lightly – very lightly – scraping the pressure pad with a razor blade to essentially “rough it up” for some added texture so that the ribbon has something VIDEO RESTORATION: HOW TO RESTORE VHS TAPES If you were like most 80s and 90s children, then you probably grew up with your dad following the family around with a video camera, capturing every family vacation moment, little league game, recital and birthday party – you name it.

SCANNING OLD PHOTOS VS. NEGATIVES When you get negatives digitized, the original scope of the image is restored.
