I'm still in the middle of combining/cleaning-up the episodes, but I'd like to point out that I've uploaded 311-It Conquered the World. This was the premiere of the episode, and it has TERRIBLE tape-hits in all the places all other copies that have been put out there have. MEANING...BBI released this one with the tape hit issues. Which...woof. I can only imagine how bad the quality of the master is in now.

Thanks for the kind words, I'm still working this, but my main editing computer is now my work computer, so I've had much less time to put together and upload episodes, unfortunately.

I'm really bad at expressing condolences, but you've got mine, Kolos. I hope you're taken care of for the time being. I'm sure this whole thing is temporary, but that's little comfort when the temporary thing hits you that hard. Here's a socially distant virtual hug from a weirdo on the Internet.

My sympathy as well. It seems like half the country is going to be laid off real soon. Hopefully, this will pass in a month or so and we can get back to normal. I've got medical issues so I rarely go out anyway but having to stay home is getting to be a drag.

I'm hoping everything goes back to normal soon too. Hope your handling everything okay and best of luck on your future endeavors, Kolos.

I need to update the list here of what's up, but most of Season 4 thru 418 is up now, so near the end of 1992.
As a side note, I'm very excited. Someone on Reddit reached out and is offering me a tape of the first 6 hours of the 1992 Turkey Day marathon. 1992 is an especially hard year to find ANYTHING from, particularly the bumpers which are all in bad shape online.

That's incredible! I enjoy your uploads and watch them frequently. Excited for Turkey Day!

The guy that's giving me the 1992 Turkey Day tape admitted to me that he was embarrassed because roughly three weeks ago he donated the other four of his 1992 TD tapes to Goodwill. He'd held onto them for 28 years and gave them to Goodwill where they were probably thrown away, because I'm pretty sure they don't resell home recordings. He would've been better off putting them on eBay. So I put out the call to the main MST group on Facebook for some assistance in case anyone bought those tapes (unlikely, they're probably in a landfill) or if anyone was willing to part ways permanently or temporarily with their 1991 or 92 TD tapes. Guy from the group reached out advised me that his wife taped bits of the 1992 Marathon, starting with 208 (midnight), which was where the tape I was already getting left off, so that's a lucky break. He's sending 8 tapes with 3 episodes each as he's not sure what's on which tape and he doesn't have working VCR. I'm going to do what I did and still am doing with mylungswereaching 's tapes, burn them onto DVD clean them up and then send them back with improved MP4 versions. Problem is the incoming glut of tapes and episodes to do. Previously I was only working off of one laptop as both an editing station and for burning discs. Of which I could only do one at a time because of processing power issues. And each process taking 4 + hours each, so a lot of downtime. And with 20+ episodes, as mylungswereaching can attest, it can take MONTHS to do a full batch. So I've dug out a friend's old Windows 7 tower, I'm updating all the systems on it, downloading the software that I need and I'm going to be using that as the burning computer and the laptop as the main editing computer. Speed things up hopefully.

For those interested, I finished my reconstruction of 213 and uploaded it over at Archive.org. About 75% of it is from a tape mylungswereaching provided from Sept 1993, the rest is from a March 1993 recording. I'll edit out the movie bits and upload to Yuotube as a container with a link to the Archive.org copy at some point in the future.

Thanks for posting, Kolos! I appreciate the work you did, this is definitely a step up from DAP, although I'm still hoping one of us will stumble upon the mythical "good" recording of 213. Somebody out there is sitting on it!

Either that or a vault tape of 213.
