Greetings!
I found these 3 1" open reel video tapes with Apollo 11 labels at an online auction, grabbed them up immediately. The American seller says he got them a few decades ago but doesn't remember anything else.

Each tape holds 1 hour of video and judging from the tracks was recorded on an Ampex type A machine.

I have yet to play them back to verify if the labels hold true.
What could be on them? Lost Apollo television broadcasts? behind the scenes studio footage?! I Love Lucy?
I believe I have found a company in the Netherlands that will be able to play these back and maybe digitise. Hope to give these a spin next month!
Stay tuned.
