I got an Elgato capture card and a VCR off of EBay and have already digitized three tapes I’ve found at garage sales.

Any advice for cleaning up the image and audio? I recall there were VCR cleaners but never was confident of their efficacy.

    Oh this is great advice.

    I also recommend softly holding whatever moistened but not dripping medium you’re using up to the cleaner head divot line and spinning the head itself with your other hand.
