Does anyone out there know where to find the DLI cassettes that go along with their retired courses from the 60's and 70's? (...other than that guy on e-bay....)

I know most of the pdf's are available on ERIC but they aren't real useful without the sound files.   

I even e-mailed DLI and they said that they don't even keep any of those courses around because they took up too much space! It's a shame because the ones I have used have been absolutely fantastic (Arabic/ Serbo Croatian)

Albanian Basic (55 cassettes)
Arabic Basic (91 cassettes)
Bulgarian Basic (45 cassettes)
Burmese Basic (5 cassettes)
Greek Basic (35 cassettes)
Indonesian Basic (129 cassettes)
Italian Headstart (21 cassettes)
Korean Basic (102 cassettes)
Persian Basic (54 cassettes)
Russian Basic (65 cassettes)
Swahili Basic (35 cassettes)

As far as I know, the files are not online, nor do they do interlibrary loan...at least out to a state U. in sunny CA. I think one either needs to be somehow affiliated with Lawrence U. (When my friend who works in my state U's library called and emailed, the Lawrence library folk were not very receptive to the idea...)

Any one go to Lawrence U or another Wisconsin college? It would be cool to get them.

Yeah...  I didn't figure they would be too excited about sending 50+ cassettes half way across the country....  Oh well...
 
The main Course from them I am interested in is the Japanese Basic Course.  Only one module made it to ERIC.
 
Anyone got this one out there?!?!......Anyone???
