    Hi

    My mother was clearing out things and want to know what to do with the following:

    Sony videoHi8 Handycam 10x

    Sony Handycam station AC-H51

    Leicina special - film camera

    Not sure if they are working but would be an ideal collectors item maybe rather than dump them.

    See attached photos for your reference

    I appreciate your help and advice.

    People have modernised camcorders like that before:

    The Super 8 stuff is a bit niche, but the Leicina might be a nice gift for somebody studying film.

    I have some VHS videos that I would like to get burned onto CD'S, from what I was advised.

    Anyone care to offer advice or suggestions on where to go or some links to further information!

    🤔

    If you have old home movies on tape, you may consider having them digitized or transferred to a more modern format, like digital video files, to preserve and enjoy the memories.
