The request last year for an old VHS cassette player resulted in several of you generously donating some machines, which was much appreciated. Unfortunately, all of them packed up fairly quickly, with the most recent machine spectacularly blowing out smoke, probably due to a significant dust buildup. The other machines were all either reluctant to actually accept cassettes or had other problems.
So, as before, if you do happen to have a VHS machine you've been thinking about letting go, please contact Brian Thomas, who hopes to make good use of it as a vital part of the GAOS archive project.
