I'm always looking for Pirates (or Penguins or Steelers) games on videotape, recorded live off television.  Please email me (jay at buccosdotcom)  if you recorded old Bucco games, and kept the tapes over the years.  VHS or Beta format are ok ... even the big ol' U-Matics if you still have those monsters.
