Checking an old cupboard, I found a "Gadget Geek DIVA112" USB/Composite capture device and an unbranded "Video Stabilizer model no. VDK6" with composite connectors and 2 buttons - "sharpen" and "norm" which I guess may be a TBC.
I only meant that the quality has to be kept from the beginning.
I doubt that "geek device" of yours had a TBC, these are pretty expensive and very rare. I assume they had only an high-band enhancer, like the treble control in audio. Because your cassettes are the first generation, a TBC is not absolutely necessary (a TBC is always needed in taping, yet one has to use what one has), the capturing card/device should be able to reconstruct the timing quite accurately.
On the other hand, the LG of yours captured quite well the small format, some videos could have issues with the tracking.
