Up in Kutztown today getting ready for our DVHRC Kutztown event. Stopped by a retro vinyl/cd/dvd/vhs store. Found a 1979 Fox VHS issue of The Day The Earth Stood Still. Near mint sleeve and the VHS was like unviewed. A cheap $2.65 of entertainment tonight. But the VHS was not re-mastered...just an air version that still had the punch holes in the upper right for a reel change at your local station probably from a 16mm print. It had a video issue where the video level would jump up and down at intervals. I suspect Macrovision that my Sony could not handle. I will try it on my JVC TBC deck.
I passed on two-volume sets of Ten Commandments and Ben Hur probably in pan-and-scan 4x3. Maybe later. 36 years later and Gort is still playing as good as new on VHS. Take that DVD.
