Sorry guys.  I'll give you an update of where I am at.  Really no excuse for taking this long though.

So originally I had two copies of all of the UK Droids tapes and sent off the best of each looking tape to ringwraith to capture audio/video from a professional service.  This was in the very early stages of the project (before I made this thread).  This is when we discovered the horrible frame blending problems and realized we had to go another route. 

I started to buy my own equipment and track down different sources.  I got the Japanese tapes and was using the UK audio on top of them.  All was good until I got to the UK Droids 3 tape and the copy that I was still holding on to was all chewed up.  I am still waiting on my other copy from ringwraith.  Droids 3 just so happens to be the one I had the hardest time tracking down and haven't seen the UK tape pop up again anywhere else.  Point5 here on the forum sent me a copy of his WAV file but I am having some sync issues with that.  I would prefer to make the capture on my own where I control the whole process.

In the meantime I have a few other sources that are apparently in transit.  I have also been talking to a couple of memorabilia dealers in Mexico about tracking down the Mexican tapes.

This is turning into a looong project trying to track down all of the sources. On top of that I am still pretty busy in my personal life with family and all.

I may just release the episodes I have finished (9 out of 14) on myspleen here soon if that is what everyone wants.  Better to have some than none right?
