   I was around then so I don't really need to.  Just curious how much of it you   
   really needed?  Can't you consolidate to fewer formats?  Even if you are   
   unwilling to digitize it all, I'm still thinking you can get the count down   
   some.  Video is always a    
   choir but it's not so bad to switch to digital for the audio stuff.  You can   
   make the case even just based on the fact that analog has a fairly short life   
   expectancy and digital is forever.    
      
   Then you could probably support selected pieces of your older gear as well as   
   newer stuff.  Another option would be to get an extra analog switch like these
