Youre telling me that tape plays perfectly fine on a tv after having all that done to it? I will believe that when I see it

What was supposedely for this interview before interruption?!

TFW the reactor melts down at noon on the first Wednesday of the month

This is amazing.. I wanted to 3d print something but this is a much better idea

What if something happens on the first wednesday at noon?

BEWARE! THE MOLD ACTS LIKE GLUE, HANGS ONTO THE ROLL OF TAPE, SO WHEN THE VCR GRABS IT, AND THE MOLD IS HOLDING IT TOGETHER, IT CAUSES THE TAPE TO BREAK!!

You should use an older VCR which does not have the tape laced round the drum in fast wind. That way you don't risk contaminating the whole tape path with mould or harming the heads

Ty I had slight mold on my Digimon Volume 1 & those are hard to find in English now so you saved me big time man.

Just the atmosphere people want while on the green. A nice scotch and some nuclear meltdown sirens.

what happens if it fucking melts down on the first Wednesday of the month at noon?

Nice to see the Shannara series get some love! Thanks for sharing this video and introducing the movie and game to folks who may not have been aware of it

Won't this risk damaging the VCR heads?

average Chattanooga moment

Oh cool idk it was fixable of ya found a tape an it had visible through the clear plastic windows fwiw.. but merely figured it was junk thus I did not buy them.. just ones that were when I would buy goodwill tapes fwiw as a kid.. just looked for non moldy blanks.. for recording simpsons fwiw.

Where is this

DONT USE THIS TAPE DAMAGING METHOD.. my channel has a diy guide

11:36 hey! That NES, cool videogame

"If it's not the first Wednesday of the month at noon, get in your car and go as far as possible." "But my watch says it's Tuesday at 2:15."

For the people who want to know what would happen if an emergency happened during testing, the siren would likely go for longer or start doing attack. (Wailing up and down.)

I couldn’t handle living by a nuke plant 😢

What if tape is stuck together in its casing? Then how to clean?

Aren't there oils on the tape itself? Wouldn't rubbing alcohol be bad for that?

We have some family tapes that are molded. Some don’t spin when you hit play, basically won’t move. Is that the mold? And why about tapes that you can what they audio but see no video? We weee gonna send these off to a company to restore but it’s very expensive and don’t know which tapes have stuff we want and stuff we don’t. So if I could do this myself that would be amazing! I’m pretty tech savvy, but never done anything like this. I wonder if some of the tapes needs to be restored completely to be able to be played. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can you clean a tape and still use the same VCR to watch tapes on? Assuming you do a good clean and if it's maybe a light cleaning job to begin with? I only have the one atm

Can the same thing be done with a Betamax VCR and tapes?

I played the PS3 game back when i was a kid!! When i saw game play again, I got so many flashbacks! I remember feeling uneasy ehile playing it, but I founf it very fun at the time.

I think I'm going to go back and watch the rest of this series. I can see you put so much effort into making this vid and it's very high quality. shame you weren't getting the views you deserve.

Good old ASC T-128s

Now keep in mind tapes tend to wear out after a number of plays and rewinds so the poor picture isn’t necessarily due to the mold effecting it.

How does this happen?

Found your channel through Coury and Chris' "Here's my question for you" podcast. This is the first of your videos I've watched, and all I can say is: "fantastic work!" Excellently researched and delivered. Your passion is evident, and appreciated. Little Nemo was a favorite game of my childhood, though I never got very far. I've made it one of my goals to complete it as an adult. May have to rely on some save states on an everdrive though! Keep up the great work and best of luck!

It doesn't sound quite "nuclear" compared to loud beefy bassy heavy-duty old-school AC electromechanical horns

A Panasonic VCR PV-V4022 (No Joke)

Would you clean a second time to improve? Or would that be risky? TY BTW: I'm so klutzy, notsure I could do this. I have a couple of vcr's, even one that takes VHS tape and records onto dvd. But I have pretty bad amount of mold. We'll see.

Our chemical plant - which blew up and had a 12 alarm fire in 1982 - goes off 1st Wednesday of the month.. at 12:01 pm.😊

The Bean machine, H725 is reference to the alien from Sherriff and the Satellite Kid. That was the name of the kid.

Yes that mould was dead white mould. Cool video, I've been cleaning tapes using a similar method.

does it have to specifically be 91% rubbing alcohol?

11:37 i think i see the Brand quasar on that vcr underneath his NES. Does anyone know the model number? It could be from 1995 or 1996.

Probably an ASC Tempest-128 siren.

do you always press against the tape before starting? I managed to snap one pressing as it was going. thanks

Easy and perfect. Thanks for teaching me this trick. It helped relieve much anxiety at the situation I have. And it also showed me I caught the mold just in time.

All fun and games until you realize it’s not noon and it’s not Wednesday. It’s Tuesday.

Asc t121 siren in nuclear power plant

"Oh shit it's tuesday"

I'm too far away from town to hear the emergency siren (not near a nuclear power plant, nearest one is about 100 miles away). If there's an emergency, my phone will let me know. Really the only thing I have to worry about where I am is tornadoes, but those are uncommon. My phone will warn me if Russia launches a nuke or if my parents' house is under a tornado warning. The nearest major city is about 80 miles away, so if Russia decides to nuke Detroit, my plan is to head to the UP, away from any major cities, and upwind of the fallout.

Also works on old recorder tapes...be careful, not all tapes can handle isopropal alcohol...one of the oldest of the recorder tapes had the outer layer stripped...

So the thing with all these cleaning mold videos is not one single person plays the tape after lol so is it playable??? I I been digitizing all my vhs but I have one moldy one I would love to know if it will be able to copy after cleaning

In the Netherlands it is normal that all the air raid sirens go off on the first monday of the month at 12:00 exactly. So if we ever get attacked on monday at 12:00, well..... Shit.

I think they're in Pennsylvania Middletown 3 Mile Island
