Review on ๐Ÿ“ผ Rare Ambico VHS Rewinder: Hard-to-Find Classic Device (Discontinued by Manufacturer) by Ryan Brunson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Better than I thought

I've shopped everywhere including pawnshops to find a VHS tape winder, since I have radios I don't want to prematurely kill the bearings in them. I searched and called etc for over 3 months. Eventually I decided to scout Revane again. I found a good seller with a good price and delivered to me. I made it over 2,000 miles in 1 week using regular USPS shipping. I ordered it because it was marked as "new". I received it and it was new. No damage, well packed in bubble wrap. I read the instructions while looking at the machine and pop in a VHS tape to rewind. The push/open button on the front of the device is simply pressed and the device opens to insert the tape. I inserted the tape according to the instructions, the device gently closed, the red light on the front of the device lit up by pressing the open button and it automatically started rewinding the tape. Not very fast, but fast enough. When it was nearing completion, it slowed down and then opened up for me to conveniently pull the tape out. The device is NOT noisy like some winders. I can say with confidence that I have long regretted not buying this device! That's very pleasant. that I regretted not having bought this device for a long time! That's very pleasant. that I regretted not having bought this device for a long time!
