Oldest Extant Off-Air VHS/Beta Tape You Have

Re: Self-made VHS tapes at Thrift Stores

I wish someone in my family did this during the 1970s - I would love to watch those tapes now. But how many people had VCRs back then?

Star Wars fanboys had them

Didn't the U-matic, or Reel to Reel film (forgot what is was called) come before the VHS?

Yes. The reel to reel type was called the CV-2000 - IIRC. But they cost about $1,000 - about the price of a new car back then. And for the most part, only TV stations and well financed TV/movie producers and stars owned them. It wasn't until Betamax (and VHS a year later) came out in 1975 that video tape finally came down to the price reach of consumers (But $500 was still a king's ransom back then.....)

In the 60s, a new car did not cost $1,000 - more like $2,500, or up to $4,000 and up if you wanted a luxury model.

My Grandfather's Canon VCR cost almost $2,000 back in 1987 he bought his new, he took it in for repair and head cleaning in 1990. They couldn't find the parts to fix it. Sounds like to me they wanted to keep it. Found the same model VCR on E-bay last year paid $50 for it. Barely used by previous owner. He recorded probably 300-400 tapes on it.

Re: Self-made VHS tapes at Thrift Stores

Ugh. Now I wish I had kept all of my old ones. :'(

I used to have a VHS tape of "The Muppets Take Manhattan" recorded off of KDFW-TV (Dallas) back in the late '80s (after my first daughter was born - I think it was either '86 or '87), and the premiere episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" recorded off of KRBC-TV in Abilene in September of 1987. Actually I had my father in law record it, because I couldn't stick around to hit the record button and the NBC Saturday MLB Game of the Week went into extra innings (I think it was Minnesota at Detroit at old Tiger Stadium), so my copy recorded the end of the game and missed the end of the first episode (a two-hour affair). I also had a bunch of Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons recorded off of Cartoon Network and WTBS back in the mid '80s. Got that idea from a friend of ours in Colorado who did the same thing for their kids. I may still have an old KTXS-TV (Abilene, TX) newscast announcing the birth of my youngest daughter (I was the executive producer there) in 1988. I'll have to look and see what I have left over - I'm pretty sure I threw most of them out, though.

Re: Self-made VHS tapes at Thrift Stores

Did the non premium channel tapes have commercials?

-crainbebo

 

[wtxf29fan788]

Re: Self-made VHS tapes at Thrift Stores

Some of them did, like the WPHL showing of Prancer had a lot of holiday commercials for stores like the now-defunct Caldor, and local promos for Real Stories of the Highway Patrol and a couple other shows and the end of the WPVI showing of the movie Eyewitness had a Million Dollar Movie closing bumper, a lawyer commercial and the first five minutes of a 1988/1989 rebroadcast of Action News which I thought was pretty cool to see, and the Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom tape had a couple of HBO commercials at the beginning and end of the showing.

But for the most part, there weren't too many commercials found on any of the tapes which I was a little disappointed about, but oh well. The person who recorded the movies looked like they knew how to make most of the movies look like they were commercial free.

Re: Self-made VHS tapes at Thrift Stores

Some more tapes I found at a couple of flea markets within the past few weeks:

TAPE 1: Beetlejuice (1988) not sure if this was taped from a premium channel or copied from a rental VHS, but like a lot of the tapes I have, it started with a short jumble of previous recordings on the tape that had since been erased--in this case, the short bits I saw at the start included a VH1 music video (can't remember what exactly it was though), a Nickelodeon bumper, an adult chat line commercial, and a short bit from an episode of The Nanny

TAPE 2: 48 Hrs. (1982) and White Nights (1985) taped from HBO in November 1987, promos shown after the first movie

TAPE 3: The Comancheros (1961) taped from KUSA in Denver; Red Mountain (1951) taped from SuperStation WTBS; and Man Without a Star (1955) taped from SuperStation WTBS, all taped circa 1986, but not positively sure because no ads were found during any of the movies

TAPE 4: Chism (1970) and How the West Was Won (1962) both taped from Cinemax in September 1989 with promos shown between the two movies

TAPE 5: Two episodes of All My Children (from 10/24/2002 and 10/25/2002) taped from WEWS in Cleveland with ads during both episodes (both also had breaking news interruptions during the shows: the first one had a News Channel 5 cut-in with a press conference from one of D.C. sniper John Allen Muhammad's ex-wives, the second one was from ABC News with the late Peter Jennings at the news desk on the death of Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone); Summer Rental (1985) taped from WUAB in Cleveland on 7/16/1990 with ads; Police Academy (1984) taped from WJW in Cleveland, ads were cut out but the recording did have about three different weather advisory scrolls from Newscenter 8 throughout the movie; last 45 minutes or so of Vice Versa (1988) taped from WUAB in July 1990 with ads

TAPE 6: Second half of an episode of Nature, most of an episode of Antiques Roadshow, and first half of an episode of Workplace Essential Skills all taped from WNEO/WEAO in Akron in August 2007 with promos found after the first two shows (about ten minutes of the Antiques Roadshow episode is missing because part of it was taped over with a segment from Nightline); tape ends with the last segment of a rerun of Matlock taped from WEWS, a few ads, and an infomercial for Time Life Music's Midnight Soul CD collection, also from WEWS, also taped in summer 2007

TAPE 7: Starts with the first few minutes of an episode of Rosie O'Donnell taped from WJW in November 1997 with ads shown beforehand; most of an episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno taped from WKYC in October 1997 with ads; episode of The Nanny (with guest star Dr. Joyce Brothers) taped from WOIO on 10/29/1997, missing the first commercial break, but the rest are intact, including the first few minutes of the day's Murphy Brown episode; last few minutes of an episode of Hiller and Diller (short-lived ABC sitcom) and fifth season premiere of NYPD Blue taped from WEWS on 9/30/1997 with ads; episodes of Friends, Seinfeld, Veronica's Closet, and ER taped from WKYC on 10/2/1997 with ads

I'd imagine it was taped off from someone who had a C-Band dish! KUSA was uplinked onto the Satcom F1 satellite for years and years for people who didn't have a Big 3 affiliate. However it was also used as a Mountain time NBC feed too.

Well, you never know. It seems like I've been finding tapes recorded from different local stations from all over the place, even though I find them in local flea markets and garage sales here in Northern Ohio (although I did go to one in Rochester, New York when I was on vacation in that area). Like I've said before in other posts, I've found content recorded from TV stations in cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago (excluding WGN), Washington DC, various other cities in Ohio, etc.

 

[crainbebo]

Re: Self-made VHS tapes at Thrift Stores

And I've had the opposite. If I get a tape from some other market, I bought it in a lot on eBay. Around here, I've only found local Seattle tapes.

Re: Self-made VHS tapes at Thrift Stores

Haven't done much updating but here it goes:

I have gotten since the last time I was here, got some tapes primarily from Detroit TV stations most of them have sitcoms, specials, movies without commercials, but some of them have commercials as well. Also I've gotten more telecasts of "Star Search" off KRBK-TV in Sacramento, CA without commercials but the semifinals do have commercials.

Well, even so, the majority of what I find is still from the Cleveland/Akron market.

 

[Scott2011]

Re: Self-made VHS tapes at Thrift Stores

Found more tapes at one of our local flea markets last weekend. Here's what I found on them:
TAPE 1: Thelma & Louise (1991) taped from WKYC in Cleveland on 5/8/1994 with ads; The Rock (1996) taped from Encore circa 1998; Date with an Angel (1987) taped from TBS Superstation in December 1998 with ads

TAPE 2: The Waterboy (1998); The Mighty (1998); and Caddyshack II (1988) all taped from Starz in December 1999, the last movie ends with promos and the start of a part of The Adventures of Smoke Bellew (1996 miniseries)

TAPE 3: Backdraft (1991) copied from rental VHS with opening previews before the movie; end of A Current Affair Extra, episodes of The Golden Girls, Walter & Emily, Empty Nest, and first few minutes of Nurses taped from WKYC on 11/23/1991 all with ads

TAPE 4: Through the Eyes of a Killer (1992 CBS made-for-TV movie starring Richard Dean Anderson) presumably taped from WJW in Cleveland with ads cut out, however, a voiceover plug for the Late Show with David Letterman during the end credits of the movie verifies that this showing of the movie had to have been recorded circa 1993

TAPE 5: CBS News Sunday Morning broadcast from 1/7/2001 taped from KCBS in Los Angeles with ads and also including the start of Face the Nation; last 90 minutes of the Today Show from 11/27/2000 (included many stories on the Florida recount and a live performance by the cast of The Wiggles) taped from KNBC in Los Angeles with ads and the start of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus; a few minutes of a New York Undercover episode taped from USA sometime in summer 2000 with a few ads up until the tape ran out

Additionally, I bought five tapes of Dark Shadows episodes all taped from the Sci-Fi Channel from March and April 1995 with ads left in. At that time, the show apparently aired back to back at 11:00 weekday mornings. Among the commercials were local ads from the Columbus/Central Ohio area broadcast locally through Coaxial Cable (now Time Warner Cable). Many cable network promos for channels like CNBC, the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, QVC, the now-defunct Q2, HSC/HSN, ValueVision (now Shop NBC), Pay-Per-View movies and fights, an ad for 610 WTVN in Columbus, etc. The vendor I bought these last five tapes from had about three big boxes holding a couple of rows of tapes all supposedly consisting of Dark Shadows episodes--I wouldn't be surprised if all those tapes were of the entire series! The other two vendors I bought tapes from at this flea market also had a bunch more home-recorded tapes that I didn't pick up. Mostly movie titles written on the labels on those.

 

[crainbebo]

Re: Self-made VHS tapes at Thrift Stores

I found some almost ANTIQUE VHS tapes on eBay-I'm talking very EARLY 1980s stuff. Tapes that say "T.J. Hooker" and Police Woman as well as one of the ABC Afterschool Special from the early 1980s. However, I'm not going for it because the person's VCR is broke, and so he can't check for commercials. It would be a ripoff to me if the ads were cut out.

-crainbebo

 

[Scott2011]

Re: Self-made VHS tapes at Thrift Stores

More tapes I picked up a couple of weekends ago:

TAPE 1: Five complete episodes and two incomplete episodes of Remington Steele taped from A&E in February and March 1996 with ads; also includes a short clip from a broadcast of WKYC Channel 3 News at the end of the tape

TAPE 2: Bill Gaither: Back Home in Indiana and Bill and Gloria Gaither: Joy to the World taped from TNN circa December 1997, only one commercial break was found during the latter program; the rest of the tape contained miscellaneous country music performances from other TNN programs (The Statler Brothers Show, Grand Ole Opry Live, etc.), including a live performance of Alabama's "Angels Among Us" (one of my personal favorite country songs)

TAPE 3: More miscellaneous country music performances/programs from TNN taped circa 1994-1996 (Hee Haw, Yesteryear, Statler Brothers, Grand Ole Opry, etc.), including a special called Chet Atkins: Read My Licks (the only program on the tape that contained any sort of commercials, in this case, only one incomplete "Beef: It's What's for Dinner" ad was found); tape ends with a clip of LeAnn Rimes performing "Blue" on an episode of Oprah in 1996 (presumably taped from WBNS in Columbus, given some of the content found on another tape from the same flea market vendor)

TAPE 4: The Glenn Miller Band Reunion (1989 PBS special) taped from WOSU in Columbus on 12/8/1990

TAPE 5: Several episodes of Three's Company taped from Nick at Nite in December 2000, all commercials were cut out

TAPE 6: A rather strange recording: the tape starts with the end of the movie Trouble Bound (1993), then whoever was taping this switched channels on their DirecTV receiver to one of the Showtime channels as the rest of Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles (2001) played, then switched over to the Movie Channel during the rest of What Women Want (2000), then switched over to Starz during 40 Days and 40 Nights (2002) and, except for a couple of channel changes to TLC, left that movie on until the tape ran out (taped in SP speed), all throughout we see the recorder browsing through DirecTV's program guide a few times; all of this content appears to have been recorded sometime in 2003

TAPE 7: The Untouchables (1987) and Real Men (1987); another strange recording because there were about three times throughout the first movie where different parts were taped over by short clips of sports highlights from a WKYC Channel 3 News broadcast (which was taped on 11/9/2003 based on the score of the Browns game that was highlighted)...as for the movies, they must have either been taped from a pay TV channel or copied from rental VHS tapes because they were presented uncut and without commercials (if you ask me, I would have preferred the local newscast over the movies)

TAPE 8: Riders of the Purple Sage (1996) taped from TNT on 1/21/1996 with ads

TAPE 9: Last 30 minutes or so of The Elizabeth Smart Story (2003 CBS movie) taped from WBNS on 11/9/2003, two partial commercial breaks from the movie were found, including part of a teaser for the night's 10TV Eyewitness News Nightbeat broadcast (believe it or not, that was all that was found on the tape)

TAPE 10: Several episodes of ALF taped from Nick at Nite in March 2001, only one partial commercial break was found

TAPE 11: Virginia 500 taped from Fox (presumably WJW in Cleveland) on 4/8/2001 with ads cut out; Pontiac Excitement 500 taped from FX on 5/5/2001, one complete commercial break and one partial commercial break were found during that race, the rest were cut out

Other tapes I spotted at the flea market but didn't pick up included (according to the labels) more country music and southern gospel performances, Lawrence Welk episodes, Dolly Parton: Live from London, more Three's Company episodes, more NASCAR races, some WCW wrestling programs, and many movies.

Re: Self-made VHS tapes at Thrift Stores

Sorry you didn't have so much luck there. The last lot of tapes I got was in September, and one of those tapes was a mash-up of everything Seattle TV in 1992-Roseanne and Coach off KOMO, "Sinatra" off KIRO, Seinfeld off KING, Jane Whitney off KTZZ-22, and a few KING 5 News clips!

Similarly, one of my more recent finds was a tape that was basically a mixed-bag of local Cleveland TV recorded in late 1997, specifically Rosie O'Donnell on WJW, Jay Leno on WKYC, The Nanny on WOIO, NYPD Blue on WEWS, and Friends, Seinfeld, Veronica's Closet, and ER on WKYC.

Re: Self-made VHS tapes at Thrift Stores

I went to a local thrift store here in Bellevue (Jubilee Reach Hearth and Home) and found several T-120 tapes, however they were mostly movies. One label said "101 Dalmations", another had Braveheart and Die Hard 3 on it, and I also spotted one tape with no label, and one tape with Monty Python's Flying Circus (probably off of KCTS). Didn't pick up any however.

Re: Self-made VHS tapes at Thrift Stores

As I was looking through some of my old tapes-I spotted one with some Toledo programs! I have a tape of "Rhinestone" with Dolly Parton, and I found out it had commercials. I checked and there was an old WNWO 24 news teaser. The tape dated back to May 1987.
