The pic is NOT from that episode so I wonder if it's a mistake.

The item got sold. I didn't risk it and not to mention that I don't have a film strip projector.

Usually these sell for much more than $79.00.
My thinking this was a reel from WPIX, not an original.
I would love to see the original CBS.
& yes, the picture is not from "The Babysitter"
it's from "Please Leave The Premises."

I do remember someone here saying that they talked to someone on the old Honeymooners.net message board who said that they had the original footage. I didn't bid on it and if the footage didn't have the original footage, than I can safely say that I am glad I didn't waste my money.

I seem to recall something about the original audio without the dubbed phone number existing, but separately from the video. I don't know how that could be if the dubbing was done prior to the original airdate. I also don't know if it would've ended up on a 16mm print, but it did come to mind when I saw the listing.

That would be something to get ahold of Bill.
Would love to get that.
Also, after viewing & listening to The Babysitter a million times,
I'm convinced that with all the editing that episode went thru,
that the speed is sped up just ever so slightly to get the episode in a certain time. I say this because when it airs on PIX in NY, they speed it up too & it sounds even more hi-pitched than the other episodes.

This old time radio database lists a bunch of WPIX airchecks of the Classic 39 from the 70s:

I'm assuming the audio would've been dubbed prior to 1975, but an earlier aircheck could explain the audio existing separately. The 1952 "Christmas Party" audio is also listed. Apparently the site owner is retired and unable to make copies of shows, so this is another dead end.

I Just asked the seller if it has the original audio.

I just got told from the seller that it DOES NOT have the original number.

The seller will post a pic of the reel & canister on Tuesday.
They are yellow Viacom containers.
This means they are a syndicated, not CBS print.
