I didn't think of trying to find on-line examples, because on-line clips of old movies are usually from more recent masterings, I think.

I was thinking more the intros of 1970's network airings on shows like
The CBS Friday Night Movies or
The ABC Sunday Night Movie, which can be seen on sites like YouTube and The Museum of Classic Chicago Television (FuzzyMemories.TV). But WGN did have RCA TK-27's, but may've had their little "add-on" on top of the rest of their setup. Surely they would've had 16mm prints of filmed TV shows and movies, as opposed to their New York sister WPIX which went with 35mm.
