  • Where can I buy an 8mm videocassette case? [UK]

    I have an 8mm tape loose and I want it protected.

    Does anyone know if there is anywhere in the UK I can buy a single 8mm cassette case that is not extortionately priced?

    Elliott,

    Welcome to the 8mm Forum. To clarify, is this for 8mm videotape or 8mm film?

        Elliott,

        Since this is a film forum, I'm moving this thread to the General Yak section in the hope that someone can help you. Is this a case of the original cassette breaking?

          I have an 8mm cassette that has no case, and I wish to protect it.

            It would be best if you could post a picture of your cassette. Sounds more like You need a video cassette case. Do you play the cassette in a camera or a projector?

              I liked the Hi8 format (and later Digital8) when first introduced. Blank tapes are still available for purchase, but while I see VHS protective sleeves & cases are still available, I haven't come across any for the video 8 size.

                Just buy any random 8mm casette for the sake of the case. I think that is the only option as the case is not sold separately.

                  Send me a PM and I can send you a S/H tape in case...just pay for postage.

                    Someone on Facebook nearby offered one if I picked it up.

                    However, I really appreciate your offer. You are a legend of a bloke!
