Things get more interesting. Seems like sombody got a hold of some
tapes for a personal collection in video format for a VR2000 that were
recorded real time at Houstin. The data tapes were lost due
to losing magnetism, by degausing.

"An ex-employee at JSC bought them as part of a GSA auction of
excessed video tapes in 1974."
The other video tapes were lost with energy savings, and the air conditioner
was turned off at JSC(Houstin)
A special 40th anniversary show of some sort is scheduled to be produced.

I wonder if the tapes are playable.

Umm, there's an awful lot of folks that have been looking for
those tapes, if you happen to know where they are.. Seriously,
all the slow scan data tapes from the Parkes radio telescope
that recv. the moon landing video have been lost, and a lot of
very serious folks have been scouring the earth looking for them!!
Go do a search on Parkes telescope in Australia, there's all sorts
of info on the search for the tapes there, maybe get yourself a
reward!
