Is that what the OP is doing? That was never statement explicitly.
If so, both the tapes, and the VCR, are on a clock. The AG-1980 will have caps go again eventually, and the tapes will wear and degrade as well. The wise move is to transfer those, using a quality method. And those are definitely quality VCRs.
But getting back to the original question of improving the video visuals. Some external frame TBCs have move advanced filters and proc amps, so technically, those TBCs would improve viewing as well. Not the main reason to own a frame TBC, but a nifty side effect ... again, on some models, not all.
