Just a long shot, but you might start looking around and asking around about old VHS tapes that people taped off-the-air. If you're lucky, someone will have taped off a show that included the peacock and the tape of which is still in decent condition. Tricky and/or time-consuming to find, perhaps, but I'm SURE there must be a bunch of them out there, and they should be cheap to buy. Of course, you might have to spend a bit getting a bunch of unwanted ones before you found a good one, and you might have to spend a lot of time playing through them (even on FF) before you find the peacock, but it's a possible way to find one. Since NBC was one of the three big networks for many years, and the peacock came on fairly often for a good number of those years, I think the chances of getting one that way might be worth the effort, if your heart is set on finding this video.
I have a bunch of old VHS tapes, but unfortunately, all of them were made here in Hong Kong, and our channels, not belonging to NBC, almost never showed the peacock, so I don't think I have one.
Just another idea: Did NBC put the peacock before any movies or shows that were put on LaserDisc or DVD? I know I have a bunch of movies that show the MGM lion in the beginning, as that was the movie company. I can't recall one that had the peacock, but there might be some out there, in those formats, with some of the TV shows that have been released that way?
I'm sure one will "materialize" for you. Good luck!
