Goodwill by the Pound find, burried in the bottom
of the bins. This is a 1979 Sony L-500 Betamax tape
recorded in X2 speed (which became known as BII) for
2 hours of play time. The tape itself has dropouts &
tracking errors due to improper storage, most likely.

Station is Pittsburgh's KDKA channel 2 (CBS affiliate)
during the news broadcasts. During the Greek Tycoon
movie, it was channel WTOV channel 9 out of
Steubenville, Ohio, which apparently was CBS
at the time (it is now an NBC affiliate.)

Played back using a recently restored 1980 Sears
Betavision Portable VCR (rebadged Toshiba V-8035)
