There are various stores on the East and West coasts that deal in multi-
standard equipment.

They exist in the pro market, I'm not sure if they exist in the consumer
market.  Check the same stores that sell multi-standard VCRs.

<NTSC one?   I would think so, but I've been wrong before ;-].

Well, you struck out again.  If a PAL tape was playable on NTSC VCRs we
wouldn't have this problem with international standards and spending big
bucks on conversions :-)
