Thanks to members emmanuelgoldstein, gatorcpa (and me :-d). If you want to add a link - vintage stuff or instructional videos, not modern promotional films - do it as a reply to this post. I'll then include it in here (with acknowledgement) and delete your post so that the information is kept in one post instead of developing into a thread. :-!
