Well, I sort of have myself covered as far as that goes. A friend of mine that I knew once back when I used to do a lot of local cable origination shows has a working player, and all I have to do is
get a decent video capture cards--like the 'Blackmagic Intensity Pro.' 
A dual cassette deck I can find on E-Bay....(In fact, I need one of those also because I have a ton of cassettes Video/Audio to copy. Maybe if I can add a 3 Terabyte hard drive to my 'Wish List'.)
Anyway, it would be good to hear the 'Chick Singers'/Chamberlin Female Solo or the way Mike Iceberg did the (3) Violins demo again in stereo sound again.... :)
Heck, somewhere amongst my 3/4 inch library is a demo of the Fairlight CMI-featuring somebody from the group here-that I taped way back in 1985 at the NAMM Show.... (I am getting old.) :/
