I've been recording them every Sunday on WGN for the past couple of months. The 36 episodes in one shot would be easier. I don't have enough hard disk space left though unless my networked drive is fast enough. Guess it's worth a try.
I understand that they were recorded with Electronicam which split the optics so they could record on film at the same time as producing video for broadcast. I've noticed that on a few episodes that when they zoom in the image gets fuzzy and sometimes vignettes. I thought optics were better than this even back in the 50s.
Also, on the WGN rebroadcasts the characters faces in closeups are often near the upper right and left corners. I would have thought that on the old round tubes they'd get cut off. I wonder if the film looks different than the video did since film would be viewed on a square screen, or if it's the same as the video was?
