Good luck.  I've been looking for several years.  A used-book dealer actually
called me this year and said he had a copy.  By the time I gave him my
credit card number, he found out it was gone.  If you can find one by
interlibrary loan I think you'd be MORE than lucky.  It's probably
easier to find Jimmy Hoffa.

I always thought Stan's show took Jack's show's place when he went on to

Please excuse the interruption, but could someone direct me to the Old
Time Radio Digest? It used to be here but this is now apparently the Stan
Freeberg Digest. Since I have no interest in Freeberg nor do I consider
him to be part of OTR I would like to find the real OTR Digest again. Any
help in steering me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

broadcast on the Mutual Network between March 1950 and January, 1952.  Jay
Hickerson's book indicates there are 10 shows available.

barrym@[removed] asked about Rod Serling's Zero Hour, which was broadcast
on weekdays during 1973 and 1974 on the Mutual Network.  According to Jay
Hickerson, there were a total of 26 stories (130 episodes) broadcast, all of
which are available.

Both Zero Hour and 2000 Plus are available from collectors, clubs and
commercial vendors.  Check my online Humongous OTR Database to find sources.

I am looking for a source of used Ampex 641 (1800').  I know about
Burlington Audio are there any others?  I usually buy at about 100 years
per order.


ON ANOTHER SUBJECT:

Years ago I used to be a member of the Radio Historical Scoiety of
America which was headed by Charles Ingersoll.  RHSA published a magazine
in which you could take out free ads in order to establish trades with other
collectors.  Does such a club exist today?  And, are there any other
lending libraries like SPERDVAC?  I would appreciate any information.  I
once had a collection of about 50,00 programs got tired of it and now I am
trying to collect it all back again.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Marcus,
	Regarding your comments on an old radio show wirh Mae West and Perry
Como.  Since Perry did not become very well known until the very late
30's and this was during the time Mae West was banned from the radio,
the radio show would more likely be the late 40's, ro even early 50's. 
She may have appeared as a guest on one of Como's radio shows of thsoe
later time periods.  I have no knowledge of the show mentioned however.

2000 Plus is credited with being the first truly adult SF series on radio.
This anthology series featured original radioplays that were written as pure
Science Fiction. The series began on radio March 15, 1950 and appears to
have run through 1951. It appears that there were 46 episodes, many of which
are not available. The series was produced by Sherman Dryer, who produced a
series in the late 40's called Exploring the Unknown. 2000 Plus was
broadcast via the Mutual Broadcasting System, but was syndicated by Dryer &
Weenolsen Productions.

Actually, Zero Hour was only hosted by Rod Serling. He did not produce
the series. That task was performed by veteran Elliott Lewis. The series
was syndicated and produced in 1973 and the format was mystery/thriller. 

The show had a lot of veteran radio actors, some of whom you mention above.
It was broadcast five times a week, but the show never really was able to
gain momemtum. Eventually, rights were sold to Mutual who revamped it, and
tried to make a go of it, but it just never gained popularity and was soon
dropped. The earliest episodes were usually five parters. 

Maybe down the road I can produce a log of the show but it did run from
Sep 3, 1973 through uly 26, 1974.

Mike: Actually these two Bunin puppets were on a CBS-TV show called "Lucky
Pup."
Curiously, a la Barney Google rarely appearing in "Barney Google & Snuffy
Smith", I can't even remember when Lucky Pup was on his own show. The show
had a "human" co-star (as in Kukla, Fan & Ollie): Doris brown. And speaking
of K, F & O, I've seen that show listed also as a RADIO program. Anybody got
a tape of that?
