"No Deposit, No Return"

Everywhere we turn, technology seems to have advanced lightyears ahead.  While those strides continue to take place, it's nice to be able to take a look back to see how far we've come as a society...and in such a short amount of time.  A fine example of this can be found in the KRON-TV documentary, "No Deposit, No Return", produced in 1965 as part of the station's Biography Series.  Brisbane resident Michele Salmon brought a DVD copy to Councilmember Conway who shared it with city staff.  Upon viewing it, it was seen that the sound and audio quality were not of optimal quality.  Therefore the original 16mm film of "No Deposit, No Return" was traced down to SF State University's TV Archives Dept., and in the able hands of Resident Film Archivist Alex Cherian who had the know-how and tools to digitally restore the 26 minute reel of film.  The result can now be viewed by anyone on the San Francisco Bay Area Television Archive's website by clicking here.  The short film can also be seen on Ch. 27 during the month of February during the following times:
