Not sure how many are still using VHS Tape Players, since I repair, clean and do transfers of Video from VHS to Digital data.
Making CD, DVD and Blu-Ray backups of the older Media I have a need for a VHS Tape Frame.
So I have Made this frame and putting it up for anyone who whats to download.
This Skeleton frame of a VHS tape that will allow you to make adjustments to your VHS player/Recorder without the VHS tape getting in the way.
It is designed so it can only be inserted into the Player/Recorder only one direction.
Front is As Shown in the Image below, the notch in the center bottom is a key to allow this side in only.
This should be printed in clear to make it as translucent as possible.
Being translucent the inferred emitters will shine thru so a Dark Black Dot is taped to front of both sides as shown in the following image.
This will defeat the Broke Tape Sensors. .
Attached STL file is for anyone who wants or can use a VHS Tape Frame for VHS tape Player / Recorder cleaning or repair.

Re: VHS Tape Repair Frame
Ironically....
...I found a box of old VHS tapes. Many still sealed. They were Wide Screen versions of movies I had...and tucked away for the day I had a wide screen TV to play them on. Since I have yet to see an HDMI level VCR, I think if I did open them up, the resolution offered would be disappointing

Re: VHS Tape Repair Frame
There are many VCR's w/HDMI 1080p HD Upconversion thou don't waste your money you will never get a HD video quality from a VHS tape.
As they have to convert the signal using a HD Upconversion circuit like This
Buy New in DVD, Blu-ray or do as I, be nostalgic watch on your HD 1080p TV via the RCA inputs not perfect but nostalgic.

For real nostalgia, try modding an Atari 2600 to work on a 44" LCD 1080p monitor. Really makes the pixels come alive.
