When you're right, you're right, Rat. Y'all are just irresistable, and JonBenet deserves SOMEONE to witness for her, even if it's only a bunch of strangers who care more than her own family.

Okay, Why Nut, Black Friday it is. I have so many Ramsey case videos, plus a few Broadway shows which are priceless to me. How about the original Broadway production performed over four nights of The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby? I'm so afraid to pull it out and play it, it's so old.

Oh yes, you can bet they do. If they have been stored in cool and dry conditions, and have not been played much since recorded on, they will probably be fine, but videotape is, after all, just a bunch of magnetic bits and plastic coating. The magnetic bits demagnetize, and the plastic coating just plain falls off the backing. If too old or too dried out, the tape ends might separate from one end reel or the other when being rewound or fast-forwarded. I had that happen. An end-game project I have is to try and rescue those by taking the tape cassette shell apart and hoping I can glue or otherwise adhere the tape ends back onto the reel for long enough to get the tape dubbed.

Hey, as if everyone has not enough stuff to do -- make sure that if you have old Super8 movie film, you know, the little 3 inch reels so many people put their ancient home movies on, get those dubbed off, too. Over time the color can deteriorate and you can find that old family memories make it look as if the only color everyone wore and decorated their homes in was red.

OH NO! When we moved, we stored our videotapes for over a YEAR in a storage area in SC (humidity country)...and not a climate controlled one either!!! I will be so mad if my home videos are ruined, guess I better had play them and take a look. Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!! I will be just sick, if they are screwed up. Thanks for the info.
