Publisher's summary

Billions of video tapes were recorded between 1950 and 2010, and very few realize just how quickly these tapes are headed for extinction. The supply of working machines is dwindling, tapes are degrading to the point of becoming unplayable, parts are scarce or no longer possible to obtain, and the small handful of qualified repair people is aging out without training anyone to replace them.

This creates huge opportunities if you know where to look!

Author Gray Jones lays out a proven low investment, high return strategy for how you can build anything from a side hustle to a full-fledged transfer business with no training or experience. Whether you want to transfer tapes, films, and photos for friends and family, to build a business buying, selling, and renting out the gear, or to go big, Gray tells you how to do it and scale it as large as you want. This book is for all ages and skill levels — from beginner to techie, anyone from 10 to 100 years old can do it.

About the Author
Gray Jones is a TV editor/writer, author, entrepreneur, and business owner. Through his companies A/V Gear Guy and Archive2Digital he has transferred as many as 20,000 videotapes in a 6-month period, for such clients as the late Betty White, rock bands Maroon 5 and The Grateful Dead, the US Army, billionaire Michael Milken, and more.
