Humm...  Bad memory? Or the pal has faded?  Rare, but most of those old 
pal's were, IIRC, made with the nmos process, and whats called the purple 
plague may have crept in, particularly if stored in a high humidity 
environment.

Mine, neither one, have not faded away into digital gibberish, yet...
That faint knocking sound?  Right, me, knocking on wood.  Murphy lives 
here, even drinks my beer once in a while.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
