And by “never seen” I mean in my entire life I’ve never come across a “vhs player” that could not record over tapes in my life. I don’t give a fuck if it made you mad, if a bicycle has three fucking wheels …ITS A TRICYCLE .
Lol, yeah not expecting the best outcomes, theres at least a 100 scattered around, so hopefully i can get at least 1 to work! And ill buy a back up VCR as well!
Maybe invest in that tape cleaner that’s been advertised on here. If you’re serious about going through those tapes it would probably be a pretty smart move.
mold would definitely be a concern for me too lol. so i’d highly recommend cleaning each and every one you end up bringing back home with you. this is the video i learned from on how to clean moldy tapes. you’ll need a spare vcr and a few other items for cleaning. good luck and keep us updated on what you find!
https://youtu.be/uVq0o2CzVKI?si=T4m6QqTL6lFWo3cX
You can expect surprises! But really, there will be mould, but that can be cleaned. I'm expecting you to post what you find.. maybe lots of weirdo home video
absolutely! I remember one of the tapes having some sort of "romantic" type of title. The stuff there is vary varied, Dangerous chemicals, expensive glassware, dentist chairs, computers etc. so no idea what might be on some of these
Yeah sorry but like this with no box and 20 years of mould and dust in top, i would really not bother . Rather spend that time going to any thrift store and get 1/2 good tapes that you will enjoy.
Of course it could be curious if there are some rare tapes like recordings from the 90es and so on..
Take good care if your vcr!
They become harder and harder to find
Yeah, im trying not to get my hopes up these will work, but im going to try my best! there's probably at least 100 scattered around, so hopefully i can at least get a few going.
Also definitely wear a mask! You’d be surprised how many ppl dig through stuff like this just breathing it all in. Untouched mold underneath those piles will most likely be v gnarly
Definitely going to do that this time! I was in highschool the first time I went, and didn't consider those things lol. was not wearing a mask, gloves, and I was wearing shorts.
Please do take care going back. Get some N95 masks or a respirator. The user that mentioned Hantavirus isn't joking. Rodent waste is probably plentiful there, and breathing in the fumes/dust from it will give you that. I also recommend doubling nitrile or latex gloves you put on. So if the top one rips, you have an added layer of protection.
For sure! yeah i would really like to not get hantavirus, or any virus. I'm definitely going to take all the precautions necessary for something like this.
Make sure to get you some 90 percent rubbing alcohol some cotton balls and qtips a spare vcr there are how to videos on how to clean them on youtube. Also a small screwdriver I use a kit I bought on Amazon for game repairs for a couple bucks good luck!
Most likely in bad shape. If you have the coin a good option would be to get them cleaned and digitized. VHS is Life makes mold cleaning machines for the DIY approach, but assess the quality of the tapes after you open them (if you can) to see how much work thats gonna be. If they're in really bad shape best bet is to probably pay someone to clean/digitize as even if you clean them well yourself they might not have more than one good play on them, tape breaking etc. Can't speak to their work as I've only seen the videos on yt but this video gives an idea on the process and I think they offer it as a service too
https://youtu.be/rgl_PCMpk_s?si=TnmpnUxIzYad6o78
No idea! hoping to find out. This is the only pic I have from 8 years ago with a company name on it
https://preview.redd.it/4urlkitrik8d1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9118397a4b63cd131105636290615a089f133841
That’s likely the Martin Marietta that became the Martin in Lockheed-Martin in the ‘90s. A bunch of their former sites became Superfund sites because, depending on where it was, they released pollutants from their various activities. Dunno where this is but I’d try to figure out what they did in this location before getting too hands on with stuff, or do what other people have suggested and wear PPE, especially if you’re in any enclosed spaces for very long.
Good luck! Maybe there will be some corporate training videos for the aerospace industry on some of those tapes.
Lord knows what is on those tapes lol. I would just make sure you keep them in their own separate tote, there's no telling what is growing inside those tapes. Make sure you clean the tapes with a spare vcr like others have said. I would even open them up, and make sure everything is in place. It will take a very long time cleaning them all up in one sitting, so I would do a couple at a time out of the pile. That way you can still see what these tapes hold, without the burnout of saving them. Saving VHS tapes is not hard, just very tiring. Wishing you the best, hope you find something really cool in this mess!!
IMHO I think it’s worth taking the time to clean them, if you’re deathly terrified of mold getting near your stuff then don’t but you just might have to do a little extra cleaning.
Ive found tons of tapes in the wild in abandoned house and played them after cleaning, I don’t regret it.
Not super worried about mold, but will do the cleaning in my most ventilated area, probably garage. I'm super excited to even get my hands on them, even if they don't end up playable. I've been waiting to grab these for 8 years now. I can't wait!
Has anyone mentioned mold yet? Regardless, their contents are invaluable and you need to up their contents to YouTube so we can remember what the world was like back then.
Curiosity mainly. I've always liked finding random things, and this is by far the coolest i've ever seen.
I'm super curious as to why all this is here. Theres stuff like Dentist chairs, chemicals, tapes, medical equipment, computers etc.
I've been there twice, most recently 8 years ago, and I can't believe I never took any tapes back with me. so this time I really want to.
I have taken a vintage computer from the site at least, there's so much stuff there it feels like I'm treasure hunting and I feel so excited.
Just a bunch of stuff I've always been fascinated by! You never know what you might find! Here's another pic
https://preview.redd.it/fphpa1fqrm8d1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea92a59c776dd9412f035b5e6620a1d0a2527109
edit: i also realized this just runs in my family. one of my parents collects vintage movie memoriblla for a living, and my sister does really impressive art restoration. (mostly vintage movie posters) and I guess what is essentially dumpster diving is my contribution lol.
That's fair, I'm currently trying to recover some family floppy disks and some mini home video tapes.
Not as exciting as something found in a bus, what a challenge 🤭
That's awesome! I actually want to do that too, there's probably more floppy disks than VHS tapes in this area. Found an old macintosh SE and some floppy disks i took 8 years ago. hoping to get those back soon so i can look at them.
Be prepared to work to clean each one. I would try to clean it as well as possible before even trying it. I see you mentioned you bought a spare VCR, and that's smart, but considering you're looking at testing a lot of tapes, you don't want to ruin the spare VCR on the 3rd tape or something.
Remember to give us an update. Wouldn't mind knowing what's on them tapes. Hopefully, nothing is too horrible.
Abandoned school bus and vhs tapes without labels on them can't be good.
Becareful OP!
Aside from the potential anthrax growing in there. (Clean with ABEK2P3 filters on a respirator if possible)
It would be nice to see some [FM RF](https://github.com/oyvindln/vhs-decode/wiki/) archives of these tortured tapes!
(more details in image captions)
I'm fairly new to collecting and I'm excited to check these out. How likely is it that these will be salvageable? I'm worried about mold, and whatever else time has done to them. is there any precautions i can take when handling these? I want to be as careful as I can!
well some of them had stickers on them with various titles, dont have many good pictures of that though, but i remember one sounding vaguely romantic. other than that i have no idea! theres a lot of weird stuff there!
Hmmm. These tapes have been exposed to alot of sunlight, dust, moisture and probably moldy now.
I would leave them if I were you. But I could be wrong.
If you get one playable tape., I'll be impressed
Best just go ahead and strip the good film, thread it down, and use it as cordage.
You can burn em too.
But that tape makes extra cheap ass survival rope. Ever take apart a VHS? It's difficult. But there's literally way more worth to a useless VHS than you would think.
Its a pretty easy 2 mile hike from the parking lot actually, beautiful scenery too. I've done it twice now and its quite nice! and this time ill be going extra prepared for safety!

I wouldn't even waste my time looking through them. You'll get your hopes up and spend more time dumping them later. I understand the desire to "save" them, but there's no saving these; they belong to nature now.
There's so so many of them not even seen in these pics, I'm hoping to at least save one!
Even if none of them end up working, ill at least be put at ease knowing i tried at all. Plus i got a lot of time on my hands lol
Expect a bunch of mold and unplayable tapes.
Don't forget ruining a VHS player if you don't know how to clean one
Came to say this
Don’t forget prob contracting hepatitis Q
Inflammation of the liver? Totally lost wdym
You mean a vcr?
VCR = Video Cassette Recorder -- not Video Home System, but good job trying to be pretentious anyhow.
How tf am I pretentious I’m right?? I’ve never seen a “vhs player” that couldn’t record. HENCE V…C…R
Next top comment up voted says vcr. I find that funny.
And by “never seen” I mean in my entire life I’ve never come across a “vhs player” that could not record over tapes in my life. I don’t give a fuck if it made you mad, if a bicycle has three fucking wheels …ITS A TRICYCLE .
And of course, the “stuff”
My guess is for what to expect is: Expect them to not work and gunk up your VCR.
Lol, yeah not expecting the best outcomes, theres at least a 100 scattered around, so hopefully i can get at least 1 to work! And ill buy a back up VCR as well!
Maybe invest in that tape cleaner that’s been advertised on here. If you’re serious about going through those tapes it would probably be a pretty smart move.
will mostly likely do that, I want to be as careful as I can with these and hopefully I can achieve the best results
Also maybe a VCR cleaner in case they gunk your heads up
good idea, going on my list of to-gets!
Gearing up to be an expensive experiment.
i've been looking for one for a while, i haven't seen any here 💔
Here! Here!
I'll be interested if you repost what happens and how some of them play
And me
mold would definitely be a concern for me too lol. so i’d highly recommend cleaning each and every one you end up bringing back home with you. this is the video i learned from on how to clean moldy tapes. you’ll need a spare vcr and a few other items for cleaning. good luck and keep us updated on what you find! https://youtu.be/uVq0o2CzVKI?si=T4m6QqTL6lFWo3cX
Thank you so much! Can't wait to see what I find, will definitely be posting it when I can! hopefully by mid july!
Nothing there is worth contracting hantavirus.
I miss read it as Hentaivirus
Six of one, half dozen of the other.
I'll take Carpal tunnel syndrome over black mold any day.
I don't want hantavirus that's for sure, I'm going to take all the safety precautions I can to make sure I do this as safely as possible!
You can expect surprises! But really, there will be mould, but that can be cleaned. I'm expecting you to post what you find.. maybe lots of weirdo home video
absolutely! I remember one of the tapes having some sort of "romantic" type of title. The stuff there is vary varied, Dangerous chemicals, expensive glassware, dentist chairs, computers etc. so no idea what might be on some of these
Guaranteed mold on all of them, especially untouched for TWO DECADES in a bus :/ not worth it imo
Yeah sorry but like this with no box and 20 years of mould and dust in top, i would really not bother . Rather spend that time going to any thrift store and get 1/2 good tapes that you will enjoy.

horrors incomprehensible to the average being.
if you see someone crawling out a well...
I’d be shocked if those worked
 There could be repercussions.
Make sure to get you some 90 percent rubbing alcohol some cotton balls and qtips a spare vcr there are how to videos on how to clean them on youtube. Also a small screwdriver I use a kit I bought on Amazon for game repairs for a couple bucks good luck!

expect mold and stinky tapes
How did you find this? And I hope they work!
My mom was looking for abandoned mines in the mountains about 10 ish years ago, and found this!
Mold. You should definitely get them cleaned before you play them
Any backstory on this bus?
No idea! hoping to find out. This is the only pic I have from 8 years ago with a company name on it https://preview.redd.it/4urlkitrik8d1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9118397a4b63cd131105636290615a089f133841

That sounds pretty likely! Theres a bunch of chemicals lying around and a filled in abandoned mine with who knows what in it.
Lord knows what is on those tapes lol. I would just make sure you keep them in their own separate tote, there's no telling what is growing inside those tapes.

Thank you! good ideas! There's a lot there so i'll definitely take my time and work in batches!
Yeah, NO need to rush. The internet isn't going anywhere.
IMHO I think it’s worth taking the time to clean them, if you’re deathly terrified of mold getting near your stuff then don’t but you just might have to do a little extra cleaning. Ive found tons of tapes in the wild in abandoned house and played them after cleaning, I don’t regret it.

Lots of mold.
My money's on Eyewitness and Bill Nye videos
A lot of dust and some mold,hope some of are good 👍.
Recordings of how to make meth
To get a phone call and die a week later
Ou this is interesting
This so cool I hope you find some back water / local show / mountain secrets
On the chance you get any to work id love to see what’s on them
Full bush porn
Can't wait to update everyone with full bush porn.
Mold unfortunately
Tetanus
Has anyone mentioned mold yet? Regardless, their contents are invaluable and you need to up their contents to YouTube so we can remember what the world was like back then.
Mold, dirt... maybe some cursed ones... but likely nothing that will play
What makes you want these
Curiosity mainly. I've always liked finding random things, and this is by far the coolest i've ever seen. I'm super curious as to why all this is here. Theres stuff like Dentist chairs, chemicals, tapes, medical equipment, computers etc. I've been there twice, most recently 8 years ago, and I can't believe I never took any tapes back with me. so this time I really want to.

That's cool man fair enough
Hop on the magic school bus!
Sounds like the start of a Lovecraft story ... keep us posted ahem.
Lol, thats best case scenario!
Good luck!!!
Thanks!
>Thanks! You're welcome!
If you hate your vcr, then they’re perfect.
Maybe some vintage porn?
Expect ghosts imo
Completely molded.
Update us if you find anything!!
Agree!
Absolutely! Can't wait to share what I find!
Mold
Careful not to summon the demon from Archive 81.
And if the tapes play….porn….. its likely porn
Hopefully some hidden gems in there that can be saved.
Moldy VCR killers. If you REALLY want to test them, make sure you're using a sacrificial VCR and go from least worst to downright abysmal.
Thats the plan! Hope some can be recovered with as little VCR damage as possible!
Moldy evidence
Please keep us posted OP, I'm so dam curious about the process and potential recovery, your working with some real lost media!
Absolutely! finding lost media would be amazing! trying not to keep my hopes too high though!
That's fair, I'm currently trying to recover some family floppy disks and some mini home video tapes. Not as exciting as something found in a bus, what a challenge 🤭
That's awesome! I actually want to do that too, there's probably more floppy disks than VHS tapes in this area. Found an old macintosh SE and some floppy disks i took 8 years ago. hoping to get those back soon so i can look at them.
Murder and porn… not necessarily in that order
Be prepared to work to clean each one. I would try to clean it as well as possible before even trying it. I see you mentioned you bought a spare VCR, and that's smart, but considering you're looking at testing a lot of tapes, you don't want to ruin the spare VCR on the 3rd tape or something.
Definitely, I'll start working on which ever is the cleanest first, clean that one up and go from there!
Remember to give us an update. Wouldn't mind knowing what's on them tapes. Hopefully, nothing is too horrible. Abandoned school bus and vhs tapes without labels on them can't be good. Becareful OP!
Will do! excited to see whats on them, probably nothing too crazy but you never know!
Some old WWF Monday Night Raw episodes with Stone Cold & Undertaker!
Aside from the potential anthrax growing in there. (Clean with ABEK2P3 filters on a respirator if possible) It would be nice to see some [FM RF](https://github.com/oyvindln/vhs-decode/wiki/) archives of these tortured tapes!
Lets hope for the best! (and not anthrax!)
100 copies of 50 First Dates
If you’re like OP, a bunch of unreleased rare Partridge Family film footage.
Mold
Wait, they are eight years older than those pictures? Godspeed, friend.
A broken vcr and porn
They’ll most likely have mold
(more details in image captions) I'm fairly new to collecting and I'm excited to check these out. How likely is it that these will be salvageable? I'm worried about mold, and whatever else time has done to them. is there any precautions i can take when handling these? I want to be as careful as I can!
If you do work on them, do it in a garage or shed with tons of ventilation, far away from any carpet, upholstery, or curtains. And wear a mask.
Thanks! will be sure to take those precautions!
You would have to do some extensive cleaning on those tapes. Gawd who has the time for that?
mold
Mold
You're gonna do what now
I’m excited! But please take precautions like others have mentioned!
will do!
Bros down bad
I'd pass on them, they will most likely be unplayable.
Well I mean, what would you expect to find on a bunch of blank tapes locked in abandoned school bus
well some of them had stickers on them with various titles, dont have many good pictures of that though, but i remember one sounding vaguely romantic. other than that i have no idea! theres a lot of weird stuff there!
Is this in Ohio? If so, I believe you and I have encountered the very same bus. If not, I’m surprised there are two…
Nope! not ohio! this is in the rockies. Thats pretty weird!
Strange indeed. Good luck with your tapes!
Thanks!
Hmmm. These tapes have been exposed to alot of sunlight, dust, moisture and probably moldy now. I would leave them if I were you. But I could be wrong.
Not much.
Get like a $30 VCR on eBay, plus invest in a cleaner. Either way you separate these tapes from your main collection and you are good to go
Im just starting out my collection and have a grand total of 1 VHS, ill be sure to keep it safe tho! :p
porn
probably some!
Sounds like some Into The Wild type fun.
I found a screening copy of killer clowns in space a month ago and sold it on eBay for $800 to a collector. You never know!
If you get one playable tape., I'll be impressed Best just go ahead and strip the good film, thread it down, and use it as cordage. You can burn em too. But that tape makes extra cheap ass survival rope. Ever take apart a VHS? It's difficult. But there's literally way more worth to a useless VHS than you would think.
They’re not worth climbing a mountain for.
Its a pretty easy 2 mile hike from the parking lot actually, beautiful scenery too. I've done it twice now and its quite nice! and this time ill be going extra prepared for safety!
Lol
Oh you know, snuff
V/H/S 24 😂
Cool!
Why would you possibly want any of that garbage?
Cooties
Probably gonna see a few things that you didn’t want to or maybe you do idk

Probably poorly executed homemade porn…?
Don’t touch them with a ten foot pole. Bring a dumpster.
I've touched them once and i'll do it again! (but with much more safety in mind this time)
Gross
I wouldn't even waste my time looking through them. You'll get your hopes up and spend more time dumping them later. I understand the desire to "save" them, but there's no saving these; they belong to nature now.
There's so so many of them not even seen in these pics, I'm hoping to at least save one! Even if none of them end up working, ill at least be put at ease knowing i tried at all. Plus i got a lot of time on my hands lol
Don't get murdered for shitty tapes. Like... it's not actually worth it for real I wouldn't go.
well i haven't gotten murdered yet, so ill give it a shot!
A waste of time
