Don't see too many Scoobys. I did run across one on Ebay...and won it. It was from a later series that had Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy ...no Velma, etc. It is a reel consisting of four 7 minute cartoons....each one self contained. They are basically takeoffs on famous horror films, Phantom of the Opera....Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Hunchback of Notre Dame, etc. color has held fair to good. I also saw an 8mm silent 200 ft. color scooby cutdown of the half hour show..from Techno...it was terrible.....no sound stripe..no subtitles....nothing. Hanna Barbara cartoons are mostly talking heads...and come off terribly in silent versions...especially without subtitles.

The Techno Scoobys (sound versions) seem to be the last 10 minutes of a half hour episode. No set up.....starts with the plan to capture the ghost/creature/evildoer. They don't even include the theme song!

Several of the Scooby show incarnations are around on 16mm film -- at one point I got a batch of about 30 of them - but that was probably 5 or 6 years agao and they're all long gone...
