Desperately Seeking "Star Trek"

[mabfan]

Friends:

For something I'm working on, I would find it very helpful to borrow a set of the original "Star Trek" television series in either VHS or DVD format. If anyone local has a set of all 79 episodes (or a substantial fraction thereof) and is willing to lend them to me, please let me know.

I have seasons 1 & 2 on DVD, and you're welcome to them. :-)

Bless you. Could you give them to gnomi next Tuesday? I promise to take real good care of them.

[gem225.livejournal.com]

Yes, I can and I will give them to gnomi on Tuesday. I'm glad that I can help. I never had any doubt that you'd take good care of them since you're a good person, but thank you for the assurance. :-) Good luck getting season 3.

If you don't mind VHS, and are willing to move to Minnesota, talk to me. :)
Wish I had the DVDs, mind you.

I have most of the animated series on VHS too, BTW. I'd like a complete set of them on DVD as well. DID YOU HEAR ME, PARAMOUNT? RELEASE THE ANIMATED SERIES ON DVD. NOW NOW NOW!!!

Sorry about that. :)

There's a reason I specified local... :-)

As it is, gem225 replied above that she can hook me up with seasons 1 and 2. Now I just need to find someone who can supply me with season 3.

I have all three seasons on DVD as well... I also have a signifigant number of the episodes on individual VHS (those are in storage and would take a bit to get out)

[mabfan.livejournal.com]

How accessible is your season 3 DVD and are you willing to let me borrow them? If so, we'd have to figure out borrowage and returnage.

All three are sitting on a shelf here and I'm home till monday. (Doing some home improvements) I have to run into work briefly tomorrow so I could possibly drop them off somewhere.

I've taken this to email...

A number of the libraries have them. You may want to check interlibrary loan. Which network is Brookline on?

[mabfan.livejournal.com]

We're on the Minuteman network, but I'm getting them from other sources anyway. Libraries were going to be my next stop, but I figured someone reading this blog would have them.

Actually Minuteman has (temporarily) suspended ILLs of multimedia (CDs, videos & DVDs). Apparently the use of ILL within the network has grown so much they're swamping their delivery service. So to keep things more reasonable, it's just books for the timebeing.

I used to have a complete set on beta, but I suppose that wouldn't do you much good even if I still had it.

I'm trying to imagine what kind of story you're researching that requires watching all of ST:TOS. :)

[mabfan.livejournal.com]

I don't have to watch all of it, but it's easier to figure out which episodes I need to see if I have a whole set in front of me.

As for what it's all for, assuming it's approved, I'll be able to talk about it publicly later. Otherwise, I won't.
