Working on an archived VHS digitization that has some extreme wobble towards the end of the film.

I'm linking to a sample:

Is there anything I can do?

It is desirable to use another VCR, preferably with a built-in TBC.

If you don't have a VCR with a built in TBC, then look into the Green Valley (formerly Canopus) ADVC300. It's no longer being manufactured but Amazon has two used ones for sale. Good luck.

I posted this question in creativecow too but I figured I'd try here:

Does anybody know of a more advanced digitization service (mail-in) that has machines that have TBC to do this cleanup? I have a line on a Canopus 300 but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it, and most of them are way out of my price range.

thanks

For me it looks rather like a defective VCR (drum or tape vibration) than a lack of efficient TBC.

I agree with Juris, looks like a VCR problem. Have you tried another VCR?

I still own a Mitsubishi HS-U61 high end VCR with twin digital auto tracking described here: https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1309&dat=19891204&id=LLJUAAAAIBAJ&sjid=dpADAAAAIBAJ&pg=3880,897499&hl=en

I can try to capture that tape for you.
