CEC Dance - Grammy
ShowBiz Corporate throughout the late 80's began to synch up CEC and SPP showtapes, releasing around the same time and with similar themes. Oddly, the CEC showtape release for October 1988 is absent, which would have synched up with SPP Dance - Grammy. As of current knowledge, the September show continued on until the Christmas show later that year. The release of its SPP counterpart, alongside Showbiz Pizza Program 14 which would have came with it being produced, it is unknown if there may have been a CEC Dance - Grammy type showtape in this slot that we aren't aware of yet.

Strike It Up
Strike It Up is the August 1996 CEC Live show. The song's audio has been found, but is missing the initial announcer voice and countdown. Only a single second of the tape video has been found, though it is believed that parts from the August 1996 show used bluescreen footage from Strike It Up. Signals are also missing for this show.

Footage of Strike It Up on CEC-Stage has been found however.

CheeseVention Discs
While not exactly official media, CheeseVention was a series of fan events that were filmed and produced as DVDs in a limited quantity. There are 10 CV disc sets, with only the third event disc fully preserved. Some discs also don't have any footage online

CEC Tester
The CEC Tester is a device used at the original Kooser PTT location, and is one of the only remaining pieces of early PTT tech before Cyberamics came along. Acquiring this would let us get a deeper insight into how the original Kooser stage worked internally, and we know it is still out there due to its picture popping up on showbizpizza.com in the early 2000's. It can also be seen in the original Kooser footage, matching up perfectly.

Cybervision Betamax Tapes
Starting in January of 1987, the Arlington, TX (2216 S Fielder Rd) store began testing the first iteration of Cybervision using betamax tapes. This would be done for every tape of that year before Cybervision would make its way to the rest of the stores in early 1988. All the video for these tapes are lost, and assumedly not even in CEC Corporate's possession. Getting footage of Arlington during 1987 may yield new footage of these tapes.

The Cyberstar Diagnostic Tape for the Rock-afire was also found in a betamax format, meaning it is unclear how many showtapes continued to be produced in the beta format before all stores switched to SVHS. This needs to be researched as well.
