We use an Ultra-Pro Dehydrator for baking our own 1/2" video cassettes and reel-to-reel videotapes. Baking recording tapes restores binder properties and allows "sticky shed" tapes to play normally for about 1-2 months.

This dehydrator has been specially modified to accept VHS, Beta and U-Matic videocassettes plus 1/2" reel video tapes. It can also be used on various audio tape formats. The Ultra-Pro features a built-in digital thermometer, its remote probe monitors the baking temperature.

Baking sticky-shed tapes - It's simple and easy to use! Just set the dehydrator for 125F and place your tapes on the trays for 8 hours. After the baking cycle, allow the tapes to cool for a few hours and they're ready to play! Includes "Tape Baking" instructions. For further information you can read our article about How to Bake Videotapes

Baking water damaged tapes - results may vary, based on the amount of time in water and the amount of mold, silt or debris on the tapes. Proceed at your own risk! Dried debris on a tape may damage video heads! However, in our tests, two VHS tapes were submerged in water for two hours, then placed dripping wet into this dehydrator, and baked for 8 hours at 127F. After four hours of cooling down, they played properly. The results were very impressive!

You can combine several format videotapes when baking. This is the capacity of the dehydrator when baking all same type of videotape  You can also combine formats while baking
