As does happen, sometimes when you're recording stuff things...crap out. This happened to four Tapes which have since been replaced, but not forgotten; contents and reasons are below.
* Tape 1: Sent off to J.M. Vargas. Contained episodes of Jeopardy!, Wheel of Fortune, The CBS Evening News, and the special "Dan Rather - A Reporter Remembers" with dates ranging from March 8-10, 2005.
* Tape 36: Destroyed by my brother. Contained an episode of Jeopardy! and the Finale of National Bingo Night from June 22, 2007.
* Tape 38: Actually my brother's to begin with -- I had mistakenly thought he gave it to me. Contained an episode of Jeopardy!, the Finale of The Next Best Thing, and a two-hour "event" of American Inventor from July 25, 2007.
* Tape 40: Destroyed by my brother (with my permission) due to tape hardware problems that rendered it completely unwatchable. Contained the two "Preview" episodes of Temptation from September 5, 2007 (reran 3/13-14/08).
* Tape 45: Destroyed by me for the same reason as Tape 40. Contained an episode of Temptation from October 8, 2007.
* Disc 1: Destroyed by my brother, which he now regrets. Contained six episodes of The Price Is Right with Dennis James (including the Pitchfilm and #1213D), plus #300N with Bob Barker.
-Tape 38 was recovered some time later, still containing game show-related entries (and nothing regarding my brother's uses for it). It has been restored to my collection, albeit renumbered as Tape 63.
-Tape and Disc 1 have not been replaced and never will be, as I feel they were simply too "unique" to replace with something of lesser quality.
