Your Tapes Were Rejected. We Can Help.
Mail-in services return damaged tapes untouched. They charge handling fees but offer no solutions. Moldy tapes, broken shells, and twisted reels get sent back with a note: “cannot transfer.” Those wedding videos, baby’s first words, family reunions, and irreplaceable moments— the tapes holding your most precious memories—don’t deserve to be abandoned.
We Repair What Others Won't Touch
For over 40 years, Tommy Productions has specialized in saving damaged tapes that other companies reject. Unlike warehouse services that follow scripts, Tommy personally examines every damaged tape with expert care, specialized tools, and genuine determination to recover your irreplaceable memories.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does tape repair and recovery take?
Most repairs are completed within 8–10 business days. Severely damaged collections requiring extensive work may need 2–3 weeks. Rush service is available for urgent situations—just ask when you bring your tapes in!
Do I get my original damaged tapes back?
Absolutely! You always receive your original tapes back along with the recovered digital files. Your memories belong to you, and we return everything safely— whether repair was successful or not.
What happens if my tapes can't be repaired?
We provide honest assessments before starting work. If recovery seems unlikely, we’ll tell you upfront. Our evaluation is always free, and you only pay for successful repairs and transfers we complete.
Can you fix tapes rejected by mail-in services?
Yes—this is our specialty! About 75% of tapes rejected by Legacybox or iMemories can be repaired and recovered here. We have professional equipment and expertise they don’t offer to customers.
Is pickup or mail-in service available for damaged tapes?
We accept both! Local drop-off is preferred so we can examine damage together and discuss options. For distant customers, we offer mail-in service with special protective packaging and detailed instructions included.
