This is one-of-a-kind lot of 8 VHS videocassettes represents a part of Spook Central history. These are my original first-run TV recordings of all 40 Extreme Ghostbusters episodes, taped from WWOR-TV in late 1997 when the series originally aired. There are no commercials, and no edits. In fact, one episode has a "clapboard goof" that was later corrected. There is very little use of station logo/bugs on-screen, and the end credits are all shown full-screen (nothing shrunk down) and some don't even have an announcer speaking over the music. WWOR really left the show fairly untouched, which made it great for me to preserve. I recorded these in the highest quality SP speed and put five episode on each tape. Included is a printed episode list for each tape (with time codes as to when each episode starts), tucked inside each case. I have tested the first tape and included in this listing are photos snapped off the TV from the opening of the first episode on the first tape. As these tapes are 30 years old, and I have not tested them all, as a precaution, I am selling them "AS IS". That said, I see no reason why all tapes wouldn't play perfectly, or close to it, from beginning to end, as I keep my media in excellent condition.
To see a sample video recording, which will demonstrate (1) that these tapes really DO still play, (2) that WWOR-TV left the show pretty "clean" back in 1997 (the "UPN" part of the WWOR-TV logo is a dead giveaway as to when these were recorded), and (3) to see the care I took into removing commercials and making them as perfect as possible at the time, check out this Spook Central blog post.
