Depending on the length of the clip, consider recording it off the screen and see if that's good enough for your purposes. It will save you a lot of time and expense over digitizing equipment, and depending on how well your TV automatically cleans/upscales the VHS signal, the results of recording VHS playback off a flat screen in a properly-lit room may be better than a straight transfer anyway, which will typically be filled with drop-outs, scanning issues etc.

It's non-intuitive, but for me it has given consistently good results, on short clips anyway.
