Hour 25 for 1975-01-17 did not come out on the tape. I'm not sure what happened. I ran the tape but now that I'm trying to play it back there seems to be nothing on the tape. It may well have been the Magnivox reocrder which had problems with it's presure pads. The pad bars may have come up when I was threading the tape thereby preventing the recording. This is more unfortunate than you may think. One of the items broadcast was a Germane Greir lecture as well as the beginning of "The Butterfly Kid."
