I have a dual cassette player. Part of the console on my RECORD PLAYER that is in the original cabinet.
$5 at Goodwill. There is a god.

If we have a working cassette deck, does that mean someone is willing to crack open their set so we can listen to it?

I have a couple of TSR dealer kit VHS tapes but my VCR dies a few years back so I haven't been able to watch them.

I can convert practically anything to any new media. Digitize cassettes... check! Digitize vhs ... check!
About the only PDT_Armataz_01_34 thing I don't have is one of those 70's 8track tape players.

Let me know

Sure, if Spock can't do it I'd be happy to.

ExTSR wrote in Recent Fun Finds:Best guess, shipped in late June '80 (after LoC received it for processing but before shipping).

I had wondered about the 1979 date for B2, since I have a 1980 Gateway to Adventure catalog with several 1980 products, but no mention of B2.

I was pulling some images off the camera to save in my database and thought I'd post a few Fun Finds, sort of an rpg collecting year-in-review :)

I was very fortunate to connect with this one. Easily my longest-sought item, I'd been searching for one since I began collecting 10 years ago. It's in terrific shape all things considered. An Aceaum member helped me connect with the seller for which I am very grateful. An excellent Fun Find! I'm very lucky.

I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

Shoulda been: ".. from Pangreenia to Floratopolis, from mystical Treeonia of spectral Forests to Schruborial dimensions." - The Forests of Leng

Finally, I lucked into a couple game-store extras, a bunch of the Encounters and Lairs in-store gaming event materials from the past few years. Lots of delightful 4E games and materials and becoming fairly tough to find.

Awesome batch of 4E stuff, especially those launch day versions! I recently finished off my Lair Assault set but still need a couple of Encounters. Congrats on a fine haul!

No picture because I don't have a camera, but I finally got myself a white box D&D set (7th printing, but I've been looking for years and this is the first one to cross my path, so I jumped on it), opened it up to find not only the 3 regular booklets and rules supplement, but also a beat-up but still serviceable copy of Eldritch Wizardry (9th printing)...which I have also been waiting to find.

All told, not a bad haul for $40, at least to my eyes. :)

Found a Snits poster, 1978. 18x34" rectangle, black & white only. (Those are VHS tapes holding down the corners, only slight curl)

Never seen it for sale. DoubleSecretProbation Rare?

WARGAMES STORE POSTER TSR DUNGEONS & DRAGONS SNIT'S REVENGE 1978 | #508921236

TSR Snits Revenge Poster 16" x 23" 1978 store poster unused | #506802581

I'm not sure if these were two separate auctions or whether one was cancelled and then re-started.
Listed as "near mint condition"

I saw the sold price as $202.51

EDIT: nevermind, these were two separate auctions. The one labeled "WARGAMES STORE" sold for $76 and was listed in "Very good condition" with a few tiny nicks and a small tear in a corner
