Trader Vics Magnetic tapes - Circa 60's

Hi all. Long time lurker first time poster.

I was in a small antique shop in Vancouver BC and came across these magnetic tapes with TV logos. Unsure what they are but guessing that they were intended for the restaurants? If any has an idea let me know. I am going to ask around at work to see if anyone is an old school sound guy to transfer them to digital.

A note was included in 1 of the boxes "From: The Desk of V.J Bergeron" to "Murphy Chinn"

Sorry if this is posted incorrectly.

You're all good :)

What an interesting find.

That is crazy cool - hopefully you can get them digitized and posted somewhere!

Cool! Years ago I found some 16mm motion picture film I needed to transfer, and I was able to borrow a projector from the A/V dept. of our local university. You might check with yours. As long as you can get a machine with signal out, any home musician with recording capability can digitize it for you. Good luck!

I may have a lead with a coworker who's dad has some old equipment. Will definitely post here once digitized.

Very cool! Looks like one may be food recipes? We forget that e-mail is a relatively new advancement

A quick update: I posted this in a "This is Tiki" FB forum, the Reddit r\Tiki forum and on the work BB. I have a few leads on how to get these (carefully) transferred to digital. Once done I want to share the files with the community. Unsure of costs yet, but I have a few people offering to assist, and one guy wanted to start a gofundme lol. I also sent an email to Eve Bergeron, whom I was told is the defacto Trader Vics historian, asking for her blessing to share files, and donating the tapes back to her once copied. No reply yet.
It may take a few weeks but I will happily share with everyone once copied.

Hmm I just noticed that there are only 5 box pics. I missed the most interesting one!
