Help save these programs. They were recorded on an obsolete cartridge format, and require specialized hardware to convert them to modern video standards. Over 30 programs are part of this collection, and the estimated cost to convert them is $60 apiece, or $1,800. Some require additional restoration; for example, removing some mold.
