I guess it’s not every day that someone comes up to the Tech Desk and tells me that she’s got in her hands the only existing copy of this Asian-format video tape of some really famous Japanese/Korean actor’s early work from 1955, and that last night at a gathering someone accidentally spilled wine all over it and now it won’t play anymore. 

It’s not every day that I get to be there to witness a woman older than my mom yelping with joy in the middle of Meyer and throwing her arms around me the moment we managed to restore the only existing copy of said tape after poking around at it for over an hour, wondering if I was really going to solve this or I was just going to make it worse.  Happily, I managed to make it better.

Just one of those “I KNOW what I was designed for and I LOVE it!” days.  =]

  1. LOOOL– Ken! I think that lady was either Cheena Shigematsu, my RF, or her friend.. Lool.. They came to me first. It is possible but unlikely that TWO older ladies were really excited about an old japanese tape that was restored after a wine spill!

    Good Job! I couldn’t do it.
