Ambico Video Accessories-VHS-C Adapter, Motorized (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

The AMBICO VHS-C to VHS Adapter worked for approximately 10 cassettes. Then the door switch stopped working and became free wheeling. It is no longer working as I cannot open or shut the door where you load the cassettes. With shipping, the cost was $62.98. I expect better quality for the price. I will be contacting the company to see if they will replace the Adapter. Will write another review based on customer service later.July 5 I have to commend the customer service for this product. I no sooner requested that the defective product discussed above be replaced than I received an e-mail that a new cassette was being sent to me. It arrived today. I hope the issue with the door switch will not be a problem with this cassette. The first one performed beautifully until I had that problem. It is nice to know that the company and Amazon stand by their merchandise. Thank you.

I never leave negative feedback. Product was crap. Wouldn't work with ANY VHS C tapes I tried. I'm glad I read the reviews and tried UNIMPORTANT tapes first. Could have been a disaster. This product should not even be up for sale. I had one of these back in the day, and I know how they are supposed to work. Shame on this seller for peddling this junk. I am wanting to get my video projects going. This took my time and my money. Neither of which I'll ever get back. Again, shame on this seller.

For some reason I bought this motorized one for 40 bucks and also bought the non-motorized one for 8 bucks to see which one worked better. I tried this motorized one first and it ate my tape, which was obviously irreplaceable. Then I tried the non-motorized one with another tape and it worked perfectly. Although this experiment comprised only two data points, I am comfortable concluding that it is better to buy the 8 dollar one that worked well than to buy this 40 dollar one that destroyed my memories forever.

I read other reviews and I have used this item app. 25 times now and it works just fine, it workes like my old original one did 15 yrs. ago. The automatic function to load and unloed is good.

product shipped fast and packaged well. works well as expected. Glad I found this- had one a while back and after many years needed another ! Good buy.

Item was not what I needed and did not work for me. I returned it.

Junk. Broken already. Was able to use it to convert approximately 30 tapes and then a small, thin internal plastic piece which is under too much tension broke, making it useless. Unfortunately, since this technology is on life support & headed for the swirling drain, there aren't a lot of manufacturers for this product and even fewer who aren't aware that they can charge a lot of money for a POS in a box. Good luck.

Bought this product to complete a project of converting family tapes to DVD. Other reviewers complain of delicate parts and difficulty in getting the tapes into the converter. I experienced none of these problems. The product worked as advertised.Would have been great to pay less, but that is life. 5 stars for doing that job as advertised.
