Ah yes, Ken Smith's amazing prelinger archive. He did a retrospective a few years ago at one of the local film archive museums; I bought a tape called "mental hygiene" that had some choice cuts on it. This one was sweet
http://www.archive.org/movies/details-db.php?collection=prelinger&collectionid=19180 For Vo's who know, what Dick York is building in his basement is in fact, a pirate radio transmitter! I kid you not. Listen to Dad's description, right at the beginning. You finally see him in the last scene having a grand old time partying with his new friends in the DJ booth, at least until ( I presume ) the FCC shows up at the behest of ClearChannel and shuts him down. Pump up the volume, Dick! And go mobile. Also great; Dad's advice. Stalk the popular kids. And give in to peer pressure. Be not surprised the 50's turned into the 60's. BTW, the crowd response to this film was amazing. People were clutching their stomachs with laughter.

Since archive.org doesn't have a search engine, and isn't indexed by google, the users must type in the URL by hand. Most internet denizen never do this. On the other hand, some site maintainers will add an archive.org link to a worthwhile site, but only after that site has gone defunct.
