Default Where to view a VHS tape

A relative gave us a VHS tape that may or may not have interviews of my great grandmother. We would like to view it before deciding whether to have it converted to a DVD which Walgreen quotes around $30 to do. Any suggestions of where we might go to view a VHS tape?

Let me know if you don't find one already set up to play your VHS tape. I do have a VCR that I can let you borrow if necessary. It is not set up on any of my TVs, but you could try to set it up at your house if you want to. But, might be easier to find one already set up. PM me if you want to borrow it.

Costco says they'll give you $5 off, and prices start at $14.99.

Yes she was and we are getting the tape converted to a DVD. Her voice was soft and so we hope that the audio will come through.
