This is precisely the point. One is allowed to resell a copyrighted work on any media as long as it is the original. What you can not do is either sell or give away a pirate copy of the work. If you can not afford to buy, the guys on this list are most generous and could  loan you their tapes for a brief spell. I got into a real hole, and having a *loaner* for a week was invaluable in solving my problems.

VHS is a poor media for reference. Purchasing the DVD's from HiRes is a much better (and legal) option. 

Chuck has given all of us a tremendous gift by sharing his own proven techniques for restoring the 390A.
