Classic Radio and TV Commercials

[laundryshark]

I am interested in collecting accessible radio and television ads. By that I mean those which can play in Windows Media Player without the need for installing special plug ins. Specifically, I would like to find a playable copy of a TIDE XK commercial. Other relevant items of interest: Kenmore, Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, and other classic appliance ads, Axion "X marks the spot," "I am the Spot Maker" (Calgonite dishwasher soap), Oxydol with green crystals, DASH, Bold, Ivory Snow, Gain Detergent, Rinso White (full commercial), other TIDE commercials, etc. Since I am totally blind, I prefer either videos (with audio tracks) or audios, but no picture files please. Already found some interesting items on the AutomaticWasher.org Web site. Thanks.--The Laundry Shark

Classic Radio and TV Commercials

Thanks for sharing those Web addresses. The second Web site contains downloads for Real Player type files, which I cannot play. Don't care to mess with Real Player. I have found several classic gems from the first and the third Web sites. However, the Archive.org site contains some files that won't play in Windows media unless a codec or other special plug in is instaled. Nevertheless, MPEG-1 or MPG files will play without the need for such add-ons. If there are other similarly free Web sites out there, please feel free to share. Once again, many thanks.-Laundry Shark
