The Winker just posted on his FB page (https://www.facebook.com/winkmartindalegames/photos/a.1485144971712624.1073741827.1485120435048411/1563280323899088/?type=1) that he found a Betamax recording of the final two episodes, from Dec. 9 and 10, 1976. His "team" is making the transfer happen very soon.
Would love to know what else he may have on Betamax.

In my work in law enforcement, I am amazed at how things are often "found" at opportune times.

Or "lost" for that matter.

Let's be accurate. Wink's got creative control of what gets put there and what doesn't but I doubt many, if any, of these are part of his collection.

I would agree with you on just about everything that's gone up on Wink's Youtube page thus far, but this strikes me as something Wink may actually be in possession of.

Operative word being "may".
And although I have nothing but respect for Wink, I'm really curious as to how he got roped into this whole deal.

So, wait, you're dismissing this because Greg qualified his statement to allow for the possibility that he might not be all-knowing? Bad form.

Interestingly, sometimes people do favors for each other. I love how you assume he's been dragged into it kicking and screaming.

Gambit was his first show that could qualify as a "hit". I could see him keeping a couple of episodes (esp. the final two) as a memento of his time on the show. If this belonged to John and (the partner whose name escapes me), I have a feeling the eps. would've been converted a while ago, even with John's perceived rep around here.
I'm sure John has made a few moves in Hollywood and rubbed elbows, with his pilots and pitches and all. Perhaps the stars just lined up for him and Wink. It happens (shrug).

Not dismissing it at all. In fact I agree with Greg in regards to the Betamax tapes being something that might actually belong to Wink. However, I'm not going to believe it until I see it for myself.

I'll take "putting words in my mouth" for $200.
I don't think Wink did this unwillingly at all. I'm just curiius as to the circumstances.

Quoting you:

...and then we head to dictionary.com:
rope in, Informal. to lure or entice, especially by employing deception: The swindler had roped in a number of gullible persons.
So, which is it?

You're better than most lawyers I know, sir.

Hey, no fair dragging references into an internet forum. Here's the only source you need:

Chris felt the meaning of what he said. He doesn't need any highfalutin dictionary.

You gotta be kidding me. I mean, really?
Who made the final decision as to whether or not to do this venture? It was Wink. So whatever may or may not have happened in the planning stages, in the end it was Wink's call, and by giving his approval he became a willing participant.

Don't fret, I'm not cheesed off at you. I was just feeling catty last night.
Now simply concede you said 'roped into' when you meant to say 'involved with' and we can all move on with our lives.

Done and done.
