I'm always on the look out for classic TV commercials on super 8! I know that red Fox put out two 70's TV commercial reels and I'm certainly looking for a good color copy of "70's commercials #1"! [Smile]

I just bought a reel with about two or three rare ones on it, but I already have these so i will be selling them on!

Sadly, most of these were originally sold together on one 200ft reel, (sometimes only one at a time, as in the case of the King Kong car commercial), but these reels have almost always been split up and putting them all back together is very hard to do! In some cases, I have no idea as to what commercials were originally on them to begin with!

My Kongs a little faded, but that's OK.

One of the better places to find commercials is in the classic TV shows from the 50's and 60's that appear here and there on super 8. The Jack Benny program, Amos and Andy, ect ect. In many cases, other collectors have already taken these commercials out but sometimes, you'll run into a program that still has them in it.
