This is our best bet, I think. Many kids (myself included) snuck tape recorders into theaters and recorded the movies, well the audio at least. Somebody, somewhere surely did this at a 70mm presentation of Star Wars. Some friends and I did it at a 70mm showing of TESB, but that tape disappeared in the early '80s. Such tapes could be invaluable from a historical perspective, but not necessarily for preservation.

I have one of those 70mm in theater recordings, I did one in San Diego and my wife did one in D.C. (long before we were married). She has found hers and I’m still digging for mine.
Just bought a tape deck from e-bay. My old one died years ago and I never replaced it.
Anyway, once the new deck arrives what is the best way to digitize the audio?
