It would be tragic to lose this significant historical artifact from an important figure in the history of computing. While magnetic tape degrades over time, this is broadcast-grade tape with high-bandwidth analog video so it's probably still savable - but it won't be forever. Also, there are broadcast museums and preservationists who still maintain working 1-inch VTRs but they're only going get rarer.
