Review on Maxell Cassette VHS C Adapter 290060 by Ronnie Segobiano

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Walked out of the box.

This review is one of two (probably). I made a big mistake with my timing and when I tried to use this converter the left hand roller that ejects the tape is missing and there is an obvious broken piece that moves but does nothing. Thus, the tape is only pushed out from the right side. The box the adapter came in was completely sealed and there are no casters or parts anywhere. and paid $0.80 more than the first one I ordered and paid an extra $3.99 to have it here tomorrow. Revain wouldn't replace him for some pathetic reason. If the item works and does its job I will update this review. ---------------------- -----Second review. A new Maxell VHS-C adapter arrived today. It was the same product but the packaging it came in was newer (I think). This item did not have the broken part that my first one had and this item worked great. I only had to convert about 1.5 hours of video to 3 cassettes, but it worked. For the price it was worth it. It is very cheap and not intended for the impatient. 1: Make sure the tape is not slack. I don't know what they mean by "sagging", but this step won't hurt. Insert your finger into the VHS-C tape gear hole and slowly rotate counter-clockwise until you feel resistance. 2: Insert the tape slowly and carefully into the adapter, pushing evenly, then you know what should happen (VHS-C cassette door opens) and that the tape is flush with the adapter.3: Close the adapter door SLOWLY with both thumbs and even pressure. Note that there are two rollers that pull out the VHS-C tape and pull the tape out of the VHS-C cassette. Do it SLOWLY if there is a problem, never use force. A 4/5 product for the price. If it was $50 it would be item 2/5. that there are two rollers that pull out the VHS-C tape and pull the tape out of the VHS-C cassette. Do it SLOWLY if there is a problem, never use force. A 4/5 product for the price. If it was $50 it would be item 2/5. that there are two rollers that pull out the VHS-C tape and pull the tape out of the VHS-C cassette. Do it SLOWLY if there is a problem, never use force. A 4/5 product for the price. If it was $50 it would be item 2/5.
