Only several from Canterbury films from NY state back in the 70s. I know the following episodes were from their catalog and can sometimes be found on Ebay..... "Catspaw", "City On The Edge Of Forever", "Man Trap", "The Menagerie", "The Squire Of Gothos" and "The Trouble With Tribbles". I'd say less than 10 episodes altogether were out there on 8mm. I remember being so excited when I got Canterbury's brochure because I was and still am a huge Classic Trek fan.

I'm adding "Is there no truth in Beauty", available as a well edited 400ft digest.

Better check with Independent 8 as he had 5 or 6 episodes last time. www.bfcc.biz/independent8.html

I think the 400' releases were from Thunderbird Films, but they might have also released full length versions of the same episodes.

There were also 'Blooper Reels' of amusing outakes edited together, generally not very good prints but unique content. I believe there are three different ones, although there's some overlap of content in relation to at least two. I also have a Canterbury 100' release that combines the trailers for a few episodes (probably the ones that would be seen at the end, advertising next week's episode).

Wow!

That's pretty much what they looked like by the time they made "Star Trek VI"!

Doug - fascinating ad, I had no idea that Reel Images released Star Trek titles. Do you know what year it was? Surprising to see that the 16mm versions don't cost all that more than the the Super 8 ones. I wonder if they could have been low fade. And I wonder if the blooper reels really were "superior" quality?

Adrian,

That's from their 1978 catalog. I have the blooper reels that Thunderbird put out and I believe those are the grainiest prints i have in my collection.
