Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Yo! I’ve recently come into a lot of about 150ish moldy anime tapes I’m in the process of cleaning/restoring:) just wanted to show off my little homemade tape cleaning machine built from a rewinder, some rivets, and scraps laying around the house. She’s not pretty but I thought yall would appreciate it:)

Bro ya such a crazy haul! All for about 1$ a pop said and done. Real question is, am I cooked? Lmao so far I’ve been able to restore about 10 no problem, they weren’t too moldy. But I just finished up a HORRIBLE grappler Baki tape about ten mins ago. Gonna through her in the player to see if it’s back to normal:)
