I've archived my VHS tapes to DVD, complete with TBC correction. Each DVD is USD$5.00, to help pay for the media and equipment used to archive the recordings. I'm also willing to trade for other tournaments, in DVD or VHS format. All DVDs include four matches. A few of the DVDs start with the first game already in progress (ABC-TV rated the telecast on the bottom of the totem pole.) I've also left the commercials on the recordings, so you can get a chance to see all the old national and local (Hawaii) commercials from the past. Unless mentioned, telecasts are ABC-TV. Only PayPal payments are acceptable. Send me a message with your state and zip code, and I'll reply with a price quotation.
