problems with old VHS-C tapes

Posted by tesla on April 7, 2011 at 08:01:41:
I have many old VHS-C from the days when I was married and my kids were little. I would like to re-record them onto other media, and have been having problems with recording or previewing them. Many of them seem to be sticky as an example. Even after fast-forwarding and then rewinding them using an adapter for a standard VHS player, I still notice they seem to often stop at a certain point while watching, sometimes at different points if I rewind and try again.

Anyone have any experience with this?
