"Some 85 tapes, not including the swathes of Lost In Space, Buffy, Babylon 5."

We have several hundred tapes we are slowly going through to see if there is anything worthwhile converting to digital format. The essential stuff like the TVS report on the Brighton Worldcon is done. Anything that's commercially available now is likely to be available ad infinitum, and cheap; and we try to respect copyright.

That still leaves a lot of one-offs the BBC and Channel 4 put out in the 1980s to convert, as well as what appear to be orphan works, and it all has to be done in real time.

As for when it's over bar the disposal of the tapes, your table looks like fun, but I hope there's someone in this country that will take the damn things for recycling without charging me for the privilege.

Ah, might look in to conversion for the tape I have of my father on tv.
