I know the hosting segments with Fisher and Williams and other promo content has been made available but has anyone done the same with the actual Sci-Fi W/S airings of the films?

Aside from the historical value of them being (according to the advert) the first letterboxed broadcasts of the OT on US TV, it would be interesting to see if they differ from the other TV airings and the home video releases.

An SVHS copy might rival the LD. I only care about the opening crawl/flyover as I believe this is the same master source used for the GOUT.

I know that the Rebirth of Mothra III got a letterboxed showing on Sci-Fi. I’ve seen a ??? generational copy of it that’s floating around but I had always hope to find something a little better, maybe a bit closer to the original VHS recording source.
