I'll look for them.
I know Robyn well from her days as a jockey...
Found the item here and purchased it:

I think its important historically to own this. BTW, I have a ton of old TV (50's and 60's) on DVD or VHS if anyone ever wants to trade (sports, variety, comedy, some drama). I hardly ever use my old TVs for anything other than vintage programming.
