And they are spoken for! That was quick!

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately I'm recovering from burnout so if I were to rely on myself to get it done, they'll remain in my closet for another 5+ years. Was hoping to find someone in the community who has the set up already and is as passionate for archival as I am. :)
Edit: And they are spoken for! That was quick! Hello community! As the title states, looking for someone or a local service to convert these VHS tapes to digital for the Internet Archive. My collection is much larger (image below), but the 17 tapes in the main image aren't archived yet (as far as I can tell with the DDoS attacks) and I am hoping to be a good netizen and contribute to the cause.  Side note, I will be parting away with my entire collection of ~80 VHS for free (or by donation to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank). If this interests you and you're in the lower mainland, let me know! :)

Woo New Brunswick! I feel you...as a proud Acadian NBer it's tough out there.

The auto kiosks in Japan take cash and they are also mechanical and not touch-screen based (at least in most stores). They are tactile buttons. :D

I guess you have a point. What I meant is that it'll still slide open (like an automatic door does) but you push a button that has a similar feel to a door bell. So, still very accessible and automatic!

Automatic opening doors but they don't open by a proximity sensor, they open when you press the button. This is the optimal solution as the door doesn't open needlessly but still allows for ease of access.
Ordering machines, where all your menu options are clearly listed and priced. Pressing on a combo of buttons will print a receipt which you can sit down and show the staff/cook your order.
Water (hot and cold) tapped straight to your dining table for self serve drinks.
Unfortunately becoming less applicable with the smartphone domination finally reaching Japan, but their flip phone technology.
