2.0 out of 5 stars GOOD IDEA BUT POOR FITTING PARTS, October 22, 1999

The adapter is a great idea for playing VHS-C tapes in your regular VCR but mine stuck in the VCR every time I used it. All regular VCR tapes worked fine. It needs some refining

Must say i should have bought this instead of the powerless type of adapter.Do not waste your money on the non-battery type! I am not lying when i say the powerless adapter lasted 1 playback. Total junk. They rely on 100% mechanical operation and it makes the tape bind up when trying to deploy it. I was actually worried that it would cause the tape to tear or break.

Ok, now on to the good news. This RCA battery powered adapter is a GEM, i used it in my VHS-C to DVD recorder. I converted about 25 cassettes to DVD and not one time did the RCA adapter fault. The single battery (AA i think) lasted easily for 30+ hours or so of playback time and is ready for more.

I have nothing bad to say about the RCA VCA115!

In a nutshell: If you are thinking about saving money and getting the battery-less type you are in for a surprise. Just spend a little more and save yourself allot of headache and frustration.

Didn't work and not worth sending back - I'd spend more money on postage. Got one that worked through Best Buy.
