Funny, I was going to ask the same question...not that I'm planning to put 
together a tribute site, but as an aircheck collector I'd like some of them 
in my collection.  I didn't own a VCR in the mid-80s when they were on the 
air, and even if I did, the signal was rather iffy here in N.H. and given 
the tuner sensitivity of most VCRs I doubt I would have gotten a watchable 
tape.  I'd be more interested in trading rather than paying for tape of it 
myself.

Great station, IMHO they were hipper and more entertaining than MTV which 
always seemed like they were trying too hard to be hip and coming off 
looking contrived.  V-66 also created some of their own videos...Starship's 
"We Built This City" was one that came to mind...it was built around 
footage of the Boston-area rock scene.
