Thanks, Russ! I've always been fond of that mono sound mix. In the days before home video, the Story of Star Wars album was the next best thing to the movie theater. That mix got burned into my memory!
I think it would be great to put the mono guide online, but I don't have any web space. It needs about 14MB or so. If you want to host it at the GTF that would be excellent. Give me an email.
I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I have a feeling this is legit. Some really unexpected things have popped up in the past, things that nobody even thought existed. If it is real, I'm going to guess that it was produced for exhibition at military installations. Most likely during the holiday season of '78.
Also, looking at his previous auctions for the vintage Martin, he is encouraging local pickup. I think if that's the case, he shouldn't have a problem with someone picking up the film in person as well. Scammers don't usually meet you in person.
But I do agree with what has been said, the seller is not making things easy. He could be sitting on a small fortune and his responsiveness, or lack thereof, is mind boggling.
Oh, and that bingo ball auction may just make me rethink everything.

Those commercials are fantastic and the quality is exceptional. Thanks for including them. I hope you don't mind me spreading them around on a.b.sw.
