I would for sure, if I had it.

It would, but unfortunately, not likely to happen. I started the project on
SVHS and returned the (expensive) recorder when it was clear I wasn't going to
complete it and I have no idea what became of that/those SVHS tapes. I did
some old VHS tape restoration/digitization a few years ago and did not come
across any tapes that looked like they had potential to be that project (e.g.
non were SVHS). But if I ever do, I'll be sure to digitize it/them...
