Keep it clean…
Videotapes that aren’t stored correctly can be subject to the elements, resulting in dust or moisture damage.
The best way to store…
- Out of direct sunlight
- Cool, dry location
- “Be Kind Rewind” to ensure the tape stays tight and responsive. Stretched portion of tape can sag over time.
- Do not leave in VCR, they can get stuck or collect dust, or damage the VCR.
- Store away from magnets, or electronics such as speakers that contain magnets. This could result in erased content!
- Airtight, plastic cases are ideal over paperboard sleeves, to protect from dust and moisture.
- Plastic weatherproof tubs are better than cardboard boxes.
- 55 – 70 degrees Fahrenheit
