What happens when she sticks peanut butter into the VCR?
Then deploy my backup one I have at my work bench. (It is connected to a great CRT. Reasons.) Edit: Honestly, when I am in flow, I sometimes put a classic from my youth on. Raiders of the lost ark, or Wrath of Kahn. It is just nice to glance over at the CRT and muse. Brings back good vibes.
Then, probably just clean and fix the contaminated one.
