Most of the year my camcorder sits in the back of the closet, but during the summer months I like to take lots of video clips of tractor shows and our own machinery in the field. This year my 8mm camcorder conked out, so I figured it was time to go out and buy a new one. Stopped at places like Best Buy and Wal-Mart, and they tell me that 8mm camcorders are no longer being made or even available any more. The problem is I have a shoebox full of tapes from the past twenty years or so and have no equipment with which to view them. Sure, I could take the tapes to a place that transfers videotape to DVD, but at $15 per tape - I don't think so. Is anybody else out there in the sme predicament?
