Infamous "Antiques Roadshow" Watermelon Sword Segment (1997)

perhaps you can ask someone's help with this?
if this is really THAT rare, it should be worth the effort, no?
but when you do, please make sure you rip the ENTIRE episode,
instead of just the lone segment, it will be easier to collect that way.
get someone to rip the tape for you (perhaps make a copy of the tape and sent that)
and then upload it to archive.org in the highest quality possible.

that's also how the original What A Cartoon pilot episode for Cow & Chicken, got released to the internet, around 2008, i bought a sealed copy of the VHS tape that had it, and sent it to someone else, who ripped it, and shared it with others, which is why it can easily be found in poor quality on youtube these days....

It’s not a rip, it’s a poor quality potato cam recording. Ripping involves actually digitizing a tape.

Is there anybody here who would be willing to do it for me, then?

I have the proper equipment to do it. In fact I'm currently in the process of digitising some old VHS tapes at the moment. However I live in Australia...

If someone can find an active listing of the CORRECT tape on eBay, link it. If it doesn't cost a kidney I'll purchase it and digitise it.

I recommend sending the tape to LMW user Notelu. He can digitalize it properly.

Okay, all of the hardware I need to transfer from VHS to my PC is here!!!
