WOW!! What a treasure!! Awesome memories!! I was 10 in 1978!! I'm a collector of this stuff and would love to get a slew of these Super 70's commercials and memories on

DVD!! Is there way or a place I can get these late 70's on disc?

[gamelover1949]

I got them through video trading. I'd suggest either that, or getting old tapes off Ebay.

[justin harewood]

Hey great job first off, but I want to ask, what do you search for ebay for old tapes, if you do, just basketball games, game shows and cable intermissions, or anything nostalgic non specific? I lost interest at finding ebay for good stuff awhile back but I feel like with this, I could go back into it again. Wish me luck :) Also, do you go to flea markets or vintage shops as other sources for nostalgia? Thanks.

[gamelover1949]

I usually look for Betamax tapes; they usually have more of a chance of having vintage material (though it can get pricy). You can explore those stores if you can; I'm usually unable to. Good luck.
