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."
