   It would, but unfortunately, not likely to happen. I started the project on   
   SVHS and returned the (expensive) recorder when it was clear I wasn't going to   
   complete it and I have no idea what became of that/those SVHS tapes. I did   
   some old VHS tape restoration/digitization a few years ago and did not come   
   across any tapes that looked like they had potential to be that project (e.g.   
   non were SVHS). But if I ever do, I'll be sure to digitize it/them...
