no adapter ever existed for Video8 to VHS playback. you may be confused by the VHS-c adapters that allowed a VHS camcorder tape to be played in a VCR. VHS-c and VHS is identical tape. Video8 tape is wider (8mm) compared to VHS (6mm) and it also runs slower. Video8 is metal tape and VHS is ferric oxide. there are plenty of other differences between the 2 systems that make them incompatible.

There is no such thing. 8mm standards are too different from VHS. You are confusing 8mm with VHSc.
