Why your here.

Last Sunday, I bought a large job lot of old tapes at a car boot sale from a chap who was simply clearing out his loft. He mentioned the tapes originally came a roof that's been sitting for years.

I assumed they were blank. This afternoon, I dug out my old Panasonic NV-GS200 video camera to test it. I picked a tape at random—one from a completely unmarked, battered box. What I found has completely shaken me.
