On my request, Zdenek Houska digitized his 2-inch Ampex Quadruplex reel labled Apollo 16. Thank you very much Zdenek for making this possible.

More might come from an other, much bigger +10-inch reel that may contain Apollo 17 footage.

2 inch Ampex Quadruplex reel, labled Apollo 16 being played on restored Ampex VR-2000B. Contains AS-16 Launch, live footage and splashdown. Raw unedited footage of the tape from 3:01. Discuss!

Wow! Seems like yesterday. Some of this footage, even after 45 years, seems of higher quality than anything I saw on our colour TV in 1972. I suspect that is because colour TVs were very poor in 1972 compared with screen definition today.
