The floppy disk? I'll see what I can do.

The VHS it's a  little (lot) out of the way for the one place that does VHS transfers in town.

Yeah I'm guessing the VHS would be very difficult and is understandable. Is it possible for a YouTube unboxing video of the NextStep Advantage, I think Apple was the company that created the unboxing experience especially with the iPod's. And the NextStep Advantage looks like a high quality finished product. If Steve Jobs had that type of experience when he returned to Apple I don't think the world knew what was coming. I'm pretty sure your YouTube video would get at least 1K views with the unboxing especially if you use clickbait words "The genius of Steve Jobs unboxing design with his early product".

EDIT: It's just polished with the menu and window showing in the reflection in the glasses and how the cardboard case opens up to display and protect both the video, disk and booklet. How many companies would have been cheap and just sent the VHS tape? I'm pretty confident that Rhetorica may help you with some clickbait words for the video as I think she works in the media industry.

Edited post. I might have original boxes for the monitor (w/foam for shipping), and turbostation.
So you get the original purchase and unboxing experience.
