Hi all my UK peeps.
I'm after old video tapes of programs recorded on VHS tape from 1978 until around 1985.
The Teletext service Ceefax started in 1974 (way before VHS recorders) on BBC and 1978 on ITV, the same year as VHS recorders started to come out in the UK
By using a video capture card and some specialized software, I'm able to extract the teletext stream from the video and recreate the pages for viewing.
https://teletext.nigelreed.net for example. There are other people that also do archives.
Anyway, if you have tapes that are still in good quality and have been stored properly in a clean, dry location (no mold, dust etc), I would be happy to take them off your hands. I'd be happy to save any programs recorded if you want to keep them and will also make sure they're not listed in the missing episodes database.
If you have recordings from satellite services, I may also be interested in those.
I'm in the US but will pay for shipping.
