it will look  good  online  after I do a little  video  processing to it.

I’d sure like to see it  (poor video and all) . I started following 
greenkeys in  mid 2008, so the DVD offer was before my time. 

It does not sound  like this is a commercial video since DVDs were made and 
distributed, so I’ll  offer to rip one of those DVDs into a modern format 
and make it more widely  available if anyone wants to send me a copy (which I 
will promptly  return).

Hey folks:

Ran (Ransom) Slayton was the author of the narration of the Teletype  
Museum Tour slide show, to accompany pictures taken of the collection in the  70s 
before the museum was closed.  Ray Seidlitz (see below), who found  the 
only know remaining video tape of the narrated slide show, implies that  it was 
made in the late 70s, though Tom Collura (see below) says it was made  
around in the mid-80s with a professional voice over person reading  Slayton's 
narration.  I had thought it was Slayton narrating, but Jim  or someone will 
have better details.

>From a 1983-dated text file of his narration, I cleaned it up into a  pdf 
in 2001:

Back around 2006, Ray Seidlitz made DVDs of the museum tour available  from 
the tape he found, and quite a few of us got those.  (see his post  below). 
 It has poor image quality and came from an old video tape, but  it was the 
first time we had the video and audio.  The audio is quite  good.  I don't 
know if that video was posted online anywhere (I just  have a DVD).

Around the same time, Mary Ann Hoffman, Archival & Web Services  Manager at 
the IEEE History Center, contacted me saying she had a copy of  the 
original (long lost) slides to the Teletype museum tour.  She  eventually scanned 
them for me and sent me three CDs.  I meant to get  those available to folks, 
and especially to Jim who quite wanted to see  them, but they got buried in 
my mountain of stuff for years, resurfaced when  I moved a couple of years 
back, then got buried again.  I am pleased to  say that I just uploaded them 
to dropbox:

or, if that does not work for some reason, try:

I always thought it would be great to re-construct the video by  bringing 
the dvd version into a video editor, marking the slide changes on a  
timeline, and then replacing the video portion with a slide show from the  
hi-quality images.  Anyone know how to do that?

enjoy,

gil
