Obituaries touting the death of NTSC television may be premature.

I do have one of my high schools old 16mm Kodak projectors-it went through a couple hands between the surplus auction and me. What I really wished I had was the clean Zenith Chromacolor that Mr. Sanders had-or the Panasonic open reel video recorder sitting next to it.

We had U-Matics as well. Also, when I was in grade school, 3rd grade (1975/76), I remember the class I was in watched the Peanuts Christmas special that was taped on an old Sony 1 inch reel-to-reel VTR and the TV was black and white. BTW, did you get some old 16mm films too?
