“Don’t wait too long to digitize your VHS bands.”
So obeys a tip from Gunnar Strömberg From Hjo, who helps people in the area with just that-to digitize VHS cassettes and slides.
“No further quality left”
What many people do not know is that videotapes that are lying in a box do not keep in infinity. In fact, a VHS band deteriorates between 10 and 20 percent only in 10 to 25 years.
– A video band that is 40 years old and has not played, there is not much further quality left, says Strömberg to P4 Skaraborg.

The tip is important to know because memories of children who today become adults, or older who are no longer with us can often be perpetuated precisely on VHS bands or slides.
– It’s great fun if you can look at them, says Strömberg to P4 Skaraborg.
