Signs of VCR head wear?

What is/are the sign(s) of video head wear? Though I imagine this applies to all formats, I'm specifically asking with S-VHS/VHS in mind.

I've had this HD capture device since 2012 and I've always known that it's inputs did not include S-video. (It has HDMI, component and composite.) I bought a similar model in 2015, also with that...

Thanks for the links, Gary. Have read them all, but there's confusing info, but some helpful. I've not seen a 1980, having only had 2 1970s. Your remark seems contradictory. I'll paraphrase you....

Then can you rehab/refurb a partially working JVC SR-V101US? (It DOES have a built-in TBC, but I'm not sure if it's 1-line, 3-line or full-frame.)

BVP-4 and other methods of sharpening VHS/SVHS

I collected (recorded) way too many VHS/SVHS tapes from 1986 to 2002, over 500! All has been in storage since then. In 2020, I pulled a couple decks out AND my rarely used BVP-4 (non-plus). As I...

Oh I'd never resize upward in more than one step. If I did 480 to 720, then wanted 1080, I'd go 480 to 1080. I've never heard anyone suggest resizing is lossless. EVERYTHING is lossy, unless...

For all the years I was doing serious video/VCR work in which I ended it with 7 VCRs for duplication (RCA VR610HF), two Panasonic AG-1970s and a JVC BR-S800U (which had replaced a Panasonic AG-7750),...
