The source of these video clips was from Ben Ruhe and the original USBA archives before they were heat damaged because of storage in a garage in Phoenix and then lost. The video saved in Beta format is a higher quality than any tapes you may find in VHS format. I have dozens of hours and hundreds of dollars involved in gathering these master archa ives. The information has significant historical value for our sport. I am hoping that someone will pick these up and convert them to digital format and properly archive the material for future generations. If you want a Beta player so that you can edit the video, I have one that works and is in mint condition. YI paid $400 to have it refurbished a few years ago to convert family video into DVDs for my relatives. You can purchase my Beta player for $200 plus shipping or save on shipping and pick up the Beta machine at my home. |
