This offer goes for anyone, not just Mr. Welch:

If you're in North America, and will send 

1.	two reliable (i.e. not too ancient) tapes,

2.	appropriate U.S. postage for the return trip (or check/money order
	for the equivalant),

3.	$1 U.S. for my time and effort,

I'll be more than happy to make two identical TK50 boot tapes for you.  

I can also be persuaded to make tar tapes containing the various 
installation subsets.

I might be persuaded to do this for the geographically challenged    ;-)
(i.e. not located in North America), but you're probably better off 
looking for a similar offer closer to home.

If interested, please send private email for my postal address.
