- The best tape from the Quasar Great Time Machine lot. In this case, the original recorder set out to chop out the commercials, but not only gave up pretty quickly, wound up letting the (2-hour) tape run all the way to the end.
Since the satellite feed from the British Grand Prix was kinda flaky, we're treated to a couple of technical difficulties moments--of course, I've included them.
NOTE: This tape was especially flaky--my frame sync generator added A LOT of noise to the transfer signal. Some parts of the tape have the frame sync going, less flaky parts use either just a time base corrector (which, alas, took out most of the color) and the least flaky parts were transferred straight. If it weren't for sync problems that get introduced with each dropout on these tapes, I'd have given this a "pure" transfer throughout, but it simply wasn't an option.
NOTE #2: Some ads are repeated. All redundancies have been cut out.
This aired over Sacramento, CA-based (then-)CBS station KXTV on Sunday, July 16, 1978.

Awesome find! There's the trucker music compilation harking back to the episode(s?) you did on that, then there's the IBM ads that are a bit of computing history, in addition to being vintage ads. But finding a Formula 1 race that old - that's a miracle. Too bad you can't upload the whole race somewhere - Formula 1 rights holders used to be very agressive going after that, probably still are. I wonder if even they have a recording of that race... would be good to save it somewhere safe, in case they don't. (Flashbacks to the BBC's and others' 60s-70s TV archive situation.) Oh, and I'm pretty sure one of those commentators is David Hobbs - he was still doing F1 commentary until a few years ago when NBC bought the US rights to F1. Didn't realize he'd been a commentator so long. Wish I could watch the whole race.

Jim Little later worked in Portland.
Nice to see our friend Hal Linden again.
Although it may seem obvious, the major thing that stood out to me are the number of commercials with 'jungles'. It was REALLY noticeable, which shows it is far less the case nowadays. Great fun...! 23:36 I'm sure he said _"Truckin' hits!"_
I think the people that made the trucker album knew EXACTLY what they were doing.
@@ArchiveAnnex I tend to agree Ben!
The cut here (0:35) is unintentionally humorous.
These old commercials are interesting to watch imo
What’s the name of that track used for “The Movies” intro and bumpers?
Gotta love when a tape turns out to be saved by the commercial cutter society partway though. Sometimes they give up when they seem to go to bed.
interesting. super glue is an actual trademarked brand and not just a generic term.
...and the NFL thinks they own the ad. There's a copyright claim on this video over that particular ad.
@@ArchiveAnnex just dispute it
That IS crazy. I've actually never heard it as a brand before. Krazy Glue, Gorilla Glue, I've heard of. Maybe because everyone usually just carries those two brands.
It's also made in Japan. 🗾
Okay at 8:35 it seems like you could have used the season 3, 4, or 5 Rhoda theme just because. Also these commercials are a timeline into a Sunday Afternoon for a kid in 1978...and they didn't even have the option of the independent TV station in their town.
