Tetsuwan Atom (Mighty Atom/Astro Boy) 1980 [TSHS] episode 01 (Betamax rip) original broadcast with subtitled commercials

Dougo13 comes through for us again, with an original Japanese broadcast of the very first episode of the color anime, recorded on a 1/2" Betamax cassette by his friend in Nagasaki on October 1, 1980. Atom himself even features in an ad for a high-end boombox, the Hitachi Stereo Perdisco 8800.

Thanks also to Dougo13 for that autographed Osamu Tezuka magazine cover at the top of this post. You would not believe some of the stuff in his collection.
