Decades-old VHS tapes often suffer from mold due to improper storage, making them unplayable and potentially damaging to VCRs. While traditional cleaning methods are cumbersome, Tony Crouch developed a 3D-printed VHS mold cleaner that effectively removes mold without risking damage. The machine features spindles and a cleaning pad that allows for efficient cleaning and preservation of analog tapes. A successful cleaning can take about 25 minutes, offering a cost-effective solution for VHS collectors looking to restore their valuable media collections.
"If you had a really moldy tape, there was mold flying everywhere... I just finally decided there had to be a better way."
