Sure wish you were close. I have a couple of big boxes (hundreds) of mostly VHS tapes I would give you just to get them into someone's hands that wants to go through them. Shipping would be ridiculous. These are from early 80s through about 2007, no outer cases, just a huge number of these that came in VCRs I repaired for 25 years (est about 1000 VCRs a year). I always kept the "bad" tape that was in the machine if it got "eaten" or contaminated with grease or somesuch, and I would void any warranty if they wanted it back and reused it. Very few customers complained about that for that very reason. So some tapes will be like that. Lots of customer's time-shifting tapes from the D-FW area. You have to know how to properly unclog heads if you hit a bad spot!
