Ted, I have a non-linear editing video studio at home which I will
volunteer, including my time to do this right. If you'd like send me the
originals and I will put them on my hard drive and make copies for whomever
wants them for cost, at the same quality as the original. My capability is
at least 430 lines of horizontal resolution/S-VHS. Trying to make copies on
a regular VCR is a futile effort, not to mention you wearing down the
originals with every pass. If you make a copy of a copy, the quality will be
that much poorer.
