Master tapes can sometimes be found on eBay:
However often these are just the master that would have been used to dub across for a cassette release rather than the original master.

The Heinz Soup Advertisement mentioned in the video can be found here:
If there’s one thing people like to correct each other over more than soldering – it’s the Beatles – so I should advise that if I have made any factual errors in this video they cannot now be corrected….trying to post a correction on a video is like shouting at traffic…the world just keeps on turning…as the comments scroll off the screen.
The various close up videos of the reel to reel were shot later just to have something to look at when the audio was playing…you’ll notice the amount of tape on the reels bears no relationship to the audio segment being played (and the reels are moving at 7.5ips).
UPDATE_ there’s no need to translate the German advert…it’s been done a number of times in the comments…and it’s for a brand of cigarettes called Carlton.
TIMECODES – For the one person who reads this and wants to skip to a specific part of the video.
