Re: -
Bbn,
How about trying your contacts in China? I believe there should be a rich archive in their state TV(?) about famous TT and badminton legends. I watched in the past a few movies (propaganda??) about Chong Tjat Tong (famous TT player), Tong XinFu and Hou JiaChang. I also remember watching on TV, a Chinese national games mens singles final match (60's). Too bad at that time I did not have a VCR to record the match.
Badminton games during the 70's (when China was still not an IBF member) were shown in HK. Players like Tang XinFu, Hou Jia Chang, Yu IuTong, Liem Swie King, Christian Hadinata, Ade Chandra played in those tournaments.

I too would like to see Rudy Hartono, Liem Swie King, Tjun Tjun, Sven Pri
etc winning the AE in their prime or playing in the 1970, 1976,1979 T cp
but I know it will never work out, even though I am willing to pay high prices fr them.
The people keeping the films and tapes know that it is not financially viable to
embark on such a project because :
1)There is limited interest.
2) People will not support the project etc etc.
So these things will just become sth in memory.
