Of course, they're not really tapes, since the series was produced on film by Revue Productions, which became the TV division of Universal. And it would seem to me that the master prints would be in Universal's vault all this time, since it's not something they would immediately throw out, even if it's not syndication material. (In fact, it would seem to me that MCA would've made an attempt to syndicate the series overseas at the very least, replacing Reagan's segments with another host.) Probably the one episode that would gather interest is the one that was the last appearance of Groucho, Harpo and Chico Marx together onscreen--I believe it was called "The Incredible Jewel Robbery." -- TV or Not TV ....
