Yep I was kinda suprized with the purple people and low color, I have watched many (old) color vtr and this is a common effect the color loss is normal on some tapes. most networks reused tapes many times,and as a result the oxides wear off the tape, causing this effect. now, storage has a lot to do with it too, most of these tapes were not stored in the ideal enviroment, moisture heat and where ever else the could store them. its not a well known fact that video tapes are not forever, i think about 30 years? it i remember, sad to say the early videos are going the way of the silent movie films, just fading away.
