That’s great!
Totally understand on the mailmen being a little rough. Had a friend where every package I ever sent to them apparently was thrown out of a passing aircraft.
In other news, I was able to capture the Anchor Bay VHS tape. (No Macrovison, yay!) Not sure if I ever played the tape on an AG-1980 before, but I didn’t hear any of the audio dropout issues I recall from the 90’s. (Either that, or the second generation model handles problem tapes better than I realized.) I’ll know for sure when I check the recordings tonight.
