Description

Here’s the next video from the collection. It has a little bit of weird static and degradation. I tried to digitize it a few times. Shocker: this is the cleanest version I could get. These tapes have seen better days.

User Thetired Scot asked in the comments earlier this week about the slipcases, so I included a shot of one as the thumbnail. I also took a photo of this tape's case and posted it here:

One of a number of tapes I found in a cardboard box of vintage electronic manuals at a charity used book sale to benefit the public defender's office. Folks from around the area, libraries, and businesses all drop off donations. These tapes were buried under the manuals in the box and they looked weird so I stuffed them in my bag alongside some other books.

The tapes look like they were sent to a local TV station in the early 1990s. Each has its own cardboard sleeve with a serial number written on the outside.
