Hi, I am looking for a tape cassette converter for my old 8MM cassettes. do you seel anything that would do the trick?

No this is not a tape converter. This is so you can play a small vhs reel in a regular size vhs vcr. Hope this helps.

Richard, easiest way is to use a Hi-8 camera fire-wired to your computer. Or buy a Hi-8 machine (sony makes one). Your editing program should be able to handle standard NTSC footage.

Sorry, but this adapter only works on VHS-C tapes. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an adapter for 8MM tapes. See this site for a more detailed information http://hometheater.about.com/cs/vcrs/a/aa8mmtovhsa.htmA possible solution is to look for a used 8mm camera (make sure it still works before you buy). Then you can plug it into a TV input to view, or if you want to convert it to digital, use something like this AVERMEDIA C039 DVD EZMaker 7

Although I was not looking for the 8mm converter, initial internet research showed most people said there was no 8mm to VHS converter unless taken to a professional. That does not make this a fact so maybe further searching will find you the answer.

Like a normal cassette but this thing didn't work in my car tape deck. Good luck!

Basically yes. I found it very flaky to operate. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it would not. i is a very cheaply made devise and after about 6 cassettes it broke and i had to throw it away. My advise to you is DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY

I would buy a normal cassette player rather than this one. There are several inexpensive ones that have a built in speaker or headphone plug. I would only get this one if you are trying to convert your cassette tapes to mp3 files.

Hi there,I have had no problem with my portable unit and the big unit I had wouldn't play cassettes properly ,so when I got in touch with head office they sent me a new unit ,so their return policy ,in my case was incredible .Hope this helps !!

Yes I just opened one up and there are tiny ones on each end. Tape cassettes are becoming obsolete but these seem to work in a recorder. I hope this is what you waned to hear.

This will depend on your model. Please be sure that your cassette player has a Figure-8 Connecter (2Slot Non-Polarized Female connector that plugs into your device). The 2-Prong Male connector plugs into any US standard outlet.

I think you can use Bu6. I don't recall just which one I used to use, but mine is an old Cassette-feu and it uses the BU6 just fine. Great for our Bananas Foster!

I have tried some converters. So far none of them has worked. However, I have not tried the model that you specify.

No. This will not work for a hi-8 / super 8 cassette. There is a difference in the width of the tape hence there is no VHS - Super/hi-8 adapter. Unfortunately you will need an old camcorder or other equipment in this case made for the cassette.

Yes, it does use 8mm cassettes. I am not sure about the playback details, but I do know that there is a way to connect the camera to a computer as video input, so I would think you could do the same thing to a TV with the proper cables, etc.

It does convert cassette tapes also. As I'm typing this, I'm converting one of my old camcorder video cassettes. As for your second question, yes all the hardware you'll need is included.

Should work fine if the if the cassette player amp requirement is compatible and you can hook it up to the player.

1/19/2013 Hi Robert, I was going to select "I don't know" when I received the Amazon email, as I really don't know, but being curious myself, I went to the Tascam site and asked the question there for you. I am assuming that a cassette is a cassette and the unit will play it. But I think you are asking whether the unit has filters (bias and equalization) for the different coatings on the tape, am I correct? Looking through the manual, the only "real" thing it tells us is not to use 120 minute tape "as C-120 tapes are mechanically weak, and could become entangled in the transport mechanism, we do not recommend their use." Now, back to your question...I emailed Tascam pre-sales information request and asked that question. It should be 2-3 business days for a reply. Hope this helps a "little tiny bit", and I'll get back to you as soon as I find out. Cheers!

Yes -- that is why I purchased the Panasonic Recorder/player -- to play old cassettes. My previous Sony player was worn out, and this one works perfectly (so long as your cassettes are in good condition).

This adapter only works with C type tapes . It will not work with 8mm reel type .
