Hi Gang,
DVD's are now available on Ebay from several vendors, and are usually under $10.00. I recommend you search on Ebay for "Hallicrafters" and "DVD" and you will find at least 5 vendors selling them at various prices.
I have not purchased from them, nor do I know any of the sellers. So you will have to look them over and decide on your own, which one to purchase. (updated 1-4-2006)
