Attempting to copy family VHS video tape to digital. Haven't used the VCR in twenty plus years:
* Blew out the dust
* Put in a tape
* VCR is set to channel 2
* Hit play (watching channel 2 on an old analog NTSC TV) TV shows CH 2 and PLAY on the screen
Tape did not play
* FastForward a ways
* Pressed Play
Tape did not play
* Ejected the tape
* Rewound using tape rewinder
Repeated using a 2nd tape and a 3rd tape.
Had a beer.
Asking for suggestions.
