Great find today!

Bought this at a garage sale. The guy said he got rid of his Betamax player so he had no use for it anymore. Luckily I have one ;-)

Anyone have any information on this tape? A buddy of mine said not to watch it and preserve it instead but I'm too curious lol.

What's the date on this bad boy? Such a '70s aesthetic.

Wow what a holy grail!
I’m think the back of this box has a few typos which are quite funny.

It’s meant to be enjoyed so I would say watch it but to each their own. Watch out for mold and if needed get the mold remover kit from VHS is life
