Browsing through these USC catalogues, three items stand out for me so far:
1. The sheer volume of titles that they had available and in stock - just staggering!
2. The extent to which Blackhawk vested into the ill fated RCA CED video disc system, selling players and discs.
3. The fact that they would welcome giving a tour of the plant to anybody who just stopped by - now THAT would have been something to see! Did anybody here actually do the tour?

No, Republic had its own lab, they also went video in 1983 and bought out Blackhawk, then all was Beta/VHS...shame really...those Republic 8mm are very nice, just luck 'o the draw if you got a sharp dupe or a murky one

I have several 8mm film released by Republic Pictures, but I doubt it was printed on video era. They are standard 8mm and from the box it seems to me they are from 1960s or the latest is early 1970s. Any connection this company with Blackhawk?

Blackhawk did release a number of Republic features, and they tended to be from very good source material. I was quite surprised as to how good "Allegheny Uprising" looked, one of the best black and white super 8 features I have seen.

Yep, almost all of my Film-Office prints clearly list the footage too, as Dominique said.
