Bunch of U-matic (I think) tapes found

[davidjplant]

Hello.

I'm new to this forum and know next to nothing about this subject so first of all thanks for accepting my registration and thanks in advance for anyone who is able to help with this!

My work has come across a collection of these tapes and we're wondering if there's any value - money or as collectors items - in them or whether we should just bin them.
There are some in boxes labelled KCA-60K, others that are labelled Kavicon Cued - for Kavicon playback control. Not all of them have this Kavicon label on them
The tapes on some of them look like they might be degraded, don't know if you can make out the white stuff on the reel in the photo.

The titles don't look like much but we wondered if they might be either:

• Tapes that were originally used in broadcast
• Original recordings of these movies
• A master copy for reproducing tapes?

Some of them have new labels stuck over the old ones so these have definitely been recorded over at some point.

That's all I've been able to establish so far! Sorry that the details are so vague but other than Google I've got no other reference for information at the moment. All I know is the place they come from sold DVDs and *may* not have been 100% above board with some of their operations!

Thanks,
David
