[78-L] Does this episode of Hoarders apply to you?

[Robert M. Bratcher Jr.]

I began taping sometime in the early 80's myself. Didn't keep everything but did wind up with a lot of movies from TCM, AMC (before they started running commercials) and a few other cable channels. Some of my old VHS tapes are classical music broadcasts from PBS & others are copies of classical VHS tapes I borrowed from the library. I remember having to buy those 3 hour BASF tapes for the 4th Of July show that A&E used to run every year. Thankfully the local Pops Goes The 4th that local Ch 26 ran for awhile only needed a 2 hour tape. Haven't watched any of those in years but I'll still keep them. I did play a PBS classical recording that had Beethoven's 7th symphony on it a few days ago though. It was good. Tried taping at LP speed a few times. It didn't look as good as SP and EP speed looked even worse so all the recordings I kept were done at SP.
