Who wants to see 1973 dealer/promo DVD's?

[bigblock73]

I have acquired a complete set of 1973 dealer promo/salesman film, used to train the salesmen of the time about the new lineup of Chevrolet trucks. It may have been used in the showrooms, but I cannot say for sure..perhaps Joe (elgracho) or Ken (kiilew) can chime in and confirm or clarify.

Anyhow, The dealerships had a special "mini theatre" they used to play these. I do not have this, and they seem to be real hard to find...and in working condition.

I found a local company who claim they can convert these to DVD, but it is a little on the xpensive side. Over the phone estimate is about $150 (plus add'l charges to break open each tape and put them on their own reel for them to convert) for a 1 hour DVD. I will get a more accurate quote once the tapes are in their possesion and when we know how long they really are.

This leads me to my question.

Would anyone be willing to go in on this with me, to help alleviate the cost AND to offer something to the rest of the enthusiast out there (like yourself)? Not looking to MAKE money on this, just looking to spend not quite so much. The more who want in the less money will be required. You financial support will get you a DVD obviously.

Reply here if you are interested, details will follow once we have a decent sized group and I know more about the cost. (EDIT: see page #2)
