(Turn your crank to my MST inventory)
June 14, 2009. Still out there, encoding for the DAP...Many general updates, removal of experiments recently released.
October 9, 2005 Wow...long time between updates! Good reasons of course...the kid, work, DAP-DVDs, etc.....my fall resolution is to pay more attention to the site and post some more stuff. I'll still trade if you're still interested.
December 31, 2004 What a great year it has been for the Alleged MST3K Site! Lots of cool interviews posted, my DVD authoring project is basically complete. It was the Patrick Swayziest Holiday Season imaginable, capping off a great year.
September 12, 2004. Posted the David Giancola interview. Also, I now have a complete season 7 set from pristine SP sources.
August 2, 2004. Almost done folks, will be back in the game soon. For now, 404 (Teenagers From Outer Space) and 406 (Attack of the Giant Leeches) are off the trading list, ast hey are now part of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 DVD Volume 6 from Rhino.
July 5, 2004. Woo-hoo! A new "MST3K Essentials" DVD to be released in August! Experiment 321, "Santa Claus Conquers The Martians" has been retired and is no longer available for trade. New upgrades coming for the entire Season 7, thanks to the generosity of a trading partner from Massachussetts.
June 17, 2004. Folks, I'm taking a break from trading this summer. I'm still going to post reviews and hopefully interviews, so stop by soon.
June 7, 2004. Even more wonderfulness: I have just posted an interview with the wonderfully funny Ms. Mary Jo Pehl.
May 5, 2004. Something wonderful has arrived - a double treat. I have posted a review of Experiment 1004 (Future War), along with an exclusive interview with Future War's cinematographer, Cory Geryak. Thanks to Cory for revisiting this classic Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode.
May 5, 2004. Something is coming....something wonderful.
April 20, 2004. I'm spending a lot of time reencoding my EP tapes. I've found an encoding recipe that drastically reduces video noise without otherwise diminishing the picture quality. Also, I've been increasing the audio levels since these episodes were all taped in stereo on a high-end VCR. The sound is much improved, with no hiss or distortion when played a high volume levels.
April 18, 2004. Read my review of Experiment 616 - Racket Girls. I'm going to be away for a few days, and may not be able to respond to your email immediately. If I've already agreed to a trade, it will be mailed no later than Wednesday, April 21, 2004.
April 12, 2004. Some broken links fixed. Traffic to the site is still brisk - make sure you email me as soon as you have a trade in mind for the most current lead-time estimate. 802 and 805 Rev 3 (from a SVHS sources) are now available for trade.
April 6, 2004 Holy smokes, traffic to my site has spiked! I see that "Billy Slater's Tape Trading Site" at MST3Kinfo.com has finally been updated. Come one, come all, I'm ready to trade. Check out my latest review of Experiment 523 - Village of the Giants.
March 8, 2004 803 rev 2 is now available for trade. This DVD is as clear as the day it was broadcast in 1997. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to view this rarely-seen MST3K experiment.
February 27, 2004 I have acquired a 1st generation SP-SVHS videotape of 803 (Mole People) I'm mastering this experiment to DVD, and it's coming along very nicely. Expect an upgrade soon!
February 21, 2004 Check out the new trading page for my trading terms. If you don't have anything MST3K-related to trade, my Amazon wish list is now posted. A trade of $5.00 in value will earn you one disk from my collection.
February 20, 2004 The review for experiment 904 is posted.
February 16, 2004 The Alleged MST3K Site is growing! I have decided to start my own reviews of MST3K experiments. Watch this site for my take on my favorite cancelled TV show.
February 15, 2004 In partnership with John Benevento, I have started to remaster some of my Sci-Fi era DVDs. These new encodes have S-VHS sources with much higher video resolution than VHS. They were originally taped from a digital cable source. John has graciously agreed to lend me his source tapes to digitally preserve these episodes. Many of the planned upcoming experiments haven't been seen in years, so join us, won't you? To start, please enjoy Experiment 904 - Werewolf. More are coming, so stay tuned.
January 15, 2004 I'm a moderator for "Torgo's Tape Trades" forum on the MST Review Discussion Board.
Please email me with questions. You can also find me at the MST Review Discussion Board. I also frequent the moderated Mystery Science Theater 3000 newsgroup.
