Hi John,
I got a copy of that video. The current version being sold by Borderland 
Science and their ilk is "interesting". The body of the tape, the original 
film, is not bad. There is about a 10-minute lead-in, prior to the original 
film, that is quite strange. Part of it is in Serbo-Croatian, and part of 
it involves footage of the "He is not dead, but gone to a Higher Resonance" 
California Loonies holding Tesla Worship services. It is not a source of 
great scientific information, but it does reflect the times and is a 
credible character study of Tesla, Westinghouse, Edison, and Morgan.
