I'll throw this out here to see if anyone is interested in some used equipment that's good for transferring VHS tapes.

The organization that I work for is cleaning out old video gear and we have lots of stuff to sell. Specifically, I have a bunch of S-VHS VCRs and video proc amps/timebase correctors/video stabilizers for sale. Here are the model numbers:
JVC SR-V10U S-VHS VCR (NTSC)
JVC SR-S365U S-VHS VCR (NTSC)
JVC HR-S2901U S-VHS VCR (NTSC)
Panasonic AG-1330 VHS VCR (NTSC)
Sony SVO-1430 VHS VCR (NTSC)
Samsung SV-5000W worldwide multi-format VCR (PAL/SECAM/NTSC)
Samsung SV-7000W worldwide multi-format VCR (PAL/SECAM/NTSC)
Hotronic AP41 timebase corrector/frame synchronizer
DPS-235 timebase corrector/synchronizer
DPS ES-2200T dual timebase corrector

I have multiples of some of these items. Everything is in excellent shape and tested to work. We also have other professional video equipment for sale, including monitors, cameras, distribution amps, switchers, etc. If you're interested, please PM me for more info and pricing.

Shillin' for the man to pay for that expensive move?

Quiet, you!
